Children love a mystery-and, naturally, they love to solve it! With just a few ideas you can turn the all-time favorite mystery game, the Feely Box (or Bag), into a great tool for encouraging thinking skills, including perception, prediction, analysis, and synthesis. Along the way, children will be using important expressive and descriptive language.

OKLAHOMAN EDITORIAL -- "The decided lack of progress this decade in transforming the Oklahoma City School District from serial underachiever to a district that systematically and consistently prepares students for higher education and good jobs is frustrating, disappointing and not at all a surprise. We can only hope the many who need to hear the message and have the power to create change are listening."

Re: Panel Proposes Single Standard for All Schools

I’d say this is one of the most important events of the last several years in American education. Now we have the possibility that for the first time, states could come together around new standards and high school graduation requirements that are ambitious and coherent. This is a big deal. -- Chester E. Finn Jr.
