Podcasts about graders

In this episode of the Reading With Your Kids Podcast, Jed welcomes back award-winning author and teacher Adriana Cuevas to celebrate her spooky new middle grade novel, Mischief and Monsters. Adriana explains what cryptids are—creatures born from mythology, urban legends, and local lore—and shares how each state, including her home state of Texas, seems to have its own mysterious monsters. Listeners meet some of the unforgettable creatures in the book, from the Bear King of Marble Falls and La Lechuza to the Houston Batman, Wampus Cat, Madre de Aguas, and of course, a chupacabra. Adriana talks about why cryptid stories endure, connecting them to our human need to explain the unexplainable and our love of storytelling. She also digs into why spooky middle grade books are so magnetic for kids—especially readers with ADHD or shorter attention spans—highlighting how tension, suspense, and cliffhanger chapter endings keep kids turning pages. Drawing on her experience as a middle school teacher of English language learners, Adriana shares how graphic novels, short stories, choice, and rereading help reluctant readers fall in love with books and see themselves as readers. Families who co-read Mischief and Monsters will find rich opportunities to talk about fitting in, standing out, and finding your voice, and they might even be inspired to invent their own cryptids and stories together. In the final segment, Jed chats with debut author Shannon Mulholland about Finding Sea Legs, a modern pirate story set off the coast of San Francisco that explores identity, truth, and what's really "real" in a world full of stories, legends, and "fake news."

Is eye appeal taking over the sports card hobby? Mack Cheli of Big Mack's Card Box joins me to talk about his collecting journey, why he learned to prioritize the card over the grade, and how the growing eye appeal movement is changing the way collectors buy vintage cards. We also dig into the expanding world of fourth-party grading and eye appeal designations, including the changing meaning of MBA's gold sticker, what these different designations actually tell collectors, and whether they're creating clarity or more confusion. Plus, Mack takes us through some incredible cards from his personal collection, including vintage legends, signed Hall of Fame rookies, an exceptionally well-centered 1984 Star Michael Jordan and more.

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – While New York spends more money per pupil than any other state, shocking new data reveals more than half of 3rd- to 5th-grade students failed their reading proficiency state exams.

Today, we’re bringing you the best from the KUOW newsroom. In Tukwila, a class of fourth graders ended the school year with a big, public art show full of mixed emotions. The school is a hub for new immigrant students, and the artwork celebrates some of their journeys. As KUOW’s Gustavo Sagrero reports, the show came at the end of a tough year, as immigration enforcement took a toll on this classroom. It’s been five years since a record-shattering heat wave hit the Northwest, killing an estimated twelve-hundred people. As the world’s climate keeps warming, we can expect more heat—and more deaths. John Ryan looks at efforts to make our next heat wave less deadly. Road trash cleanup often involves people along a highway in orange vests with those little grabbers and plastic bags. But in Oregon, there’s an annual trash pickup event that’s more like a party. Thousands of people come together to drive hundreds of miles of forest service roads picking up trash by day and camping out with live music and fun at night. Matt Martin was there last weekend.

Can God's plan and human choice both be true? In this special Q&A episode, students ask Pastor Don Patterson some of the most important questions in Christianity: How do we know the Bible is reliable? Does prayer change God's will? Why does God allow suffering? What happens to children who die? What is the difference between intellectual belief and saving faith? Are Catholic and Protestant teachings equally biblical? Rather than offering easy answers, the conversation explores biblical reasoning, Scripture, and practical theology. The result is an accessible discussion for believers, skeptics, parents, students, and anyone wrestling with difficult questions about faith.   00:00:09 — Kids Ask the Questions Adults Avoid 00:01:38 — Why Pastor Don Chose Christianity 00:03:29 — How Do We Know Who Wrote the Bible? 00:05:41 — Does God's Plan Override Our Choices? 00:08:47 — What Happens to Children Who Die? 00:10:03 — Catholic or Protestant: Which Is More Biblical? 00:11:26 — Why Doesn't God Answer Every Prayer? 00:13:25 — Faith vs Belief: What's the Difference? 00:16:17 — Why Would a Good God Allow Suffering? 00:18:33 — Which Bible Prophecies Haven't Happened Yet?

Send us Fan MailVampire fish in the Great Lakes sounds like a prank until you learn sea lampreys are real and they're chewing through ecosystems like trout and salmon. We start with that eerie mental image, then take a hard turn into something hopeful: kids solving a real environmental problem with artificial intelligence, creativity, and a strong sense of what “safe” should mean.A team of fourth graders in Michigan enters the Presidential AI Challenge and builds a concept called the Guardian of the Lakes, an AI-powered drone designed to spot sea lampreys even in murky water and remove them while leaving other fish alone. We unpack the big idea powering their invention: computer vision. When a student says the drone “detects patterns,” that's the clearest definition of AI you'll hear all week. We connect it to everyday tech kids already know, like self-checkout systems that can tell a banana from an apple.Then we focus on the part adults often skip: AI safety and privacy. One kid nails the rule in plain language, reminding us that helpful AI can't come at the cost of tracking people or grabbing private information in public spaces. To make the learning stick, we share a screen-free activity, the Guardian Game, where your family or class picks a neighborhood problem, designs a “guardian,” decides what patterns the AI must recognize, and sets one safety rule.If you want practical AI literacy for kids, STEM education ideas, and a real story about responsible innovation, press play.

Eric Martin-Rivera, a first-grade teacher, was recently at odds with his school's administration. When his district's curriculum called for teachers to read books featuring same-sex married couples to their students, Eric sought an accommodation. But the school's principal summoned Eric to her office, where he was told to forfeit his religious beliefs and teach the material—or face termination. We sat down with Eric to hear his story in his own words.

A bill to deregulate zoning in an effort to reduce the cost of building new homes had its first hearing on Tuesday. How much freedom is too much for a child? That question is central to a bill that aims to limit the state from investigating parents for neglect, simply for letting their kids play outside alone. Legislation that would fundamentally reshape education in Indianapolis was debated during a lengthy hearing Monday at the Statehouse. Well-known Indiana philanthropist Lois Eskenazi passed away last week in Florida at the age of 92. Parents in Warren Township have pushed to move fifth graders out of intermediate schools... citing concerns about safety and maturity. A federal grant will help overhaul a street in Beech Grove to make it safer for pedestrians and motorists. University of Miami head coach Mario Cristobal is more than familiar with Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza.

Literacy rates have been falling in Milwaukee for over a decade. But there are new leaders, new money and new efforts to fix that. Will they work?

Send us a textToday's episode dives into a question many K–1 teachers ask: Why are we giving multiplication problem types when they're nowhere in the standards? If you've ever wondered whether this is developmentally appropriate, too advanced, or simply “off track,” you're definitely not alone.But here's the truth: young children already experience multiplicative situations in real life — and those experiences naturally support early additive reasoning. In this episode, I share a powerful story from Kayla's first-grade classroom that illustrates exactly why these problem types matter.

On December 1, 2024, as Ashtabula Area City Schools educators and students were out on Thanksgiving break, five and a half feet of snow covered Lakeside High School, causing the roof to collapse.
