		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m dating myself by saying this, but when I think of the band They Might Be Giants I think of the songs Particle Man and Birdhouse in Your Soul. These days, teachers everywhere are using videos by this offbeat band to teach their kids about science. The song below, called Roy G. Biv, teaches about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As we quickly approach the upcoming school year, think about creating a space in your home that is a designated &#8220;quiet space&#8221; conducive to studying and reading. In these days of pervasive media, it is difficult sometimes to &#8216;turn it all off&#8217; and focus. Your child should have an area that is dedicated to his/her [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you happen to have an auditory / musically inclined learner who is learning to read? (I do.) If so, try using books with a lot of rhyme, rhythm, and alliteration in them. Auditory learners are &#8216;tuned in&#8217; (literally) to sounds and patterns in sound. Plugging into this strength in their learning style can enhance [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just stumbled upon a learning styles quiz at Edutopia. It is interesting because it classifies intelligence according to the categories naturalistic, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, visual-spatial, logical-mathematical, and verbal-linguistic. I found the results surprising because I have always &#8216;seen myself&#8217; as a visual learner &#8211; and have read that, overwhelmingly, people are visual learners. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scientists have shown what we all intuitively know, as parents, that enrichment such as musical instruction helps kids&#8217; learning in other areas (such as math and reading) as well. This is great news for those of us who can give our children those experiences. But in a time when schools are going &#8216;back to basics&#8217; [...]]]></description>
