    5 Inexpensive Classroom Tools Worth Using
    After logging reading, students are automatically prompted to answer one Common Core-aligned comprehension question. They earn Wisdom Coins for logging reading and answering questions—they use these to buy virtual accessories for their Owlvatar. The more they earn, the more they can buy in the Owl Store; a surprising motivator.

    Dr. Keith Explores: Water & Chemicals
    Remember that list we made? I made a short list as well and one product contains isopropyl alcohol, 2-butoxy-ethanol and ammonia. I have another item that has a warning label that a poison control center should be contacted immediately if the product is swallowed.

    Raising The Grade: Manipulating Math Learning
    Many elementary students would need to use manipulatives to solve the division problem above, probably by counting out 30 of some object then partitioning them into groups of six. But, how come as an adult, you were able to solve this problem without manipulatives? Is it because you learned math in school without manipulatives?
