October 21, 2020 Episode 33: Short Bite - Bananagrams
Go ahead and toss your copy of Scrabble because on today’s show we’re talking about the next evolution of the letter-tile-laying-game, Bananagrams! In this fast-paced game, players are trying to create their own personal crossword. But just when you think you have all your letters used, you draw more tiles to add to the mix. Will you be able to add it to what you already have on the table or do you need to rearrange your carefully built grid? Fun, fast, and full of great spelling practice, Bananagrams is a definite winner!

October 19, 2020 Episode 32: Homeschooling in The Times of COVID
We’ve been stuck at home for 8 months. The walls are starting to close in. I don’t remember what my coworkers look like. I’m loving the family time, but “isolation schooling” isn’t what any of us signed up for. Today on the show we talk about some tips to beat the stuck at home/no playgroups/no breaks/must-constantly-entertain-my-children blues and how you can leverage some special opportunities during the pandemic to enhance your studies while at home.
