When do we ask most questions? Who do we ask most questions? When do we stop doing that? Why do we stop asking questions the older we get? What is the importance of asking questions to those who are younger than us, to those who are our peers, to those who are older than us? What kind of questions are good questions? Which questions lead to great conversations? How do we ask so we listen?
Here are some kinds of questions for you, for me, for us all.

Why should we ask questions? Educator Karen Maeyens explores the power of asking questions as keys that open endless possibilities and allow us to overcome old paradigms. From improving your personal relationships to the invention of the Polaroid Camera and the foundation of a renowned University in Latin America, Karen talks about the benefits of asking questions and wonders how we can keep a curious spirit ignited. What will your next question be?

The bravest thing to do is ask a question.
I believe learning has a lot to do with wondering, inferring, and questioning.
As an educator, I always explain that some of the best inventions began with a “stupid” question about combining two seemingly different ideas. A vague, half-baked idea often sparks the innovation that shakes the status quo.
It takes a certain amount of bravery to ask questions especially when those questions seem silly or challenge the presuppositions of the crowd.
Question Everything: Make this your mantra! If a question is respectful, allow students to question their world. This applies to analyzing mathematical processes, thinking through social issues, making sense of a text, or analyzing the natural world for cause and effect.
Every lesson should include students asking questions to you as teachers, to one another or to themselves and the boldest of students will ask questions of the world through social media and personal interviews.
Every student should embrace inquiry. And that’s the journey of curiosity, reading, and lifelong learning.
Happy Reading!

Connecting to Characters: What Can They Teach Us?
Trusting yourself and working hard are central to my goals for children, my choices for early read-aloud highlight characters who demonstrate their own characteristics. For early readers it is important to describe characters, settings, and significant events in the story, using key details. We want children to make connections to characters within, between, and among texts and contemplate what they might learn from them. As educators, we start this process early, but readers need more. I want children to go deeper into character studies by learning to:
· Make connections to characters within, between, and among texts to help them make predictions and better understand universal character behaviors and traits.
· Infer big ideas by paying attention to what characters say and do.
· Consider how they can become better human beings – better citizens of the world by studying closely what characters say and do when they encounter challenges or simply live their lives.
These are the evidence of understanding and independent learning.

Reading with Ms. Meenu
Wonder Boxes: I can ask questions Anywhere, Anytime, About Anything!
Every child has a wonder box as they wonder and ask questions all the time. When we read, we get answers to so many questions.
Young children are natural question-askers. They have to learn how to adapt to a complex and changing environment. But whether they continue to ask questions… depends in large part on how adults respond to them.
I work to respond to children in ways that honor who they are now and who they will become. That means I respect their questions, encourage them to ask more, and work hard to show them how to go about figuring out the answers.
Asking questions drives our non-fiction genre study and the thinking strategy of determining importance will help children as they work to figure out the answers to the questions that matter most.
After all, “Learning is a consequence of thinking… Far from thinking coming after knowledge, knowledge comes on the coattails of thinking…. knowledge does not just sit there. It functions richly in people’s lives so they can learn about and deal with the world”.
Happy Reading!

Can you look back 5 years into your social media and be cool with what you posted about yourself? If you fast forward 5 years and still be alright with what you posted today? the picture, the comment, the re-post? Whether it is personal information or professional information, digital footprints are increasingly a resource for friends, family, recruiters, and who knows who else… to check on you. Not to scare or embarrass but to be aware is a good thing to discuss with your children, and your students and reflect yourself as well. Do you think digital reputations matter? do you think it can impact your student’s reputation if yes then here are some ways to look at it and build it up positively.

Guest Expert of the Week: Reading with Ms. Meenu.
Reading aloud is one of the most important things I do. Reading aloud motivates kids to want to learn to read, extends their oral language, and gives them opportunities to connect new information to what they already know. Reading aloud offers teachers opportunities to
· Model thinking strategies, fluent reading, and reading behaviors.
· Build background knowledge of different types of text.
· Build community.
· Enhance vocabulary and
· Share with kids our love of reading and learning.
My first read-aloud is almost always a songbook, poem, or Rhyme. The reasons for choosing these as read aloud because:
· They’re fun!
· Children are instantly engaged and motivated to learn to read the words.
· Repeated reading increases phonemic awareness.
· The words and tunes are easy to learn. Children read along right away.
It is recommended to encourage your children to visit a local library. Children love to take these books, poems, and songs home to share with parents and siblings. And it’s a fun way even for parents to connect with their children.
Happy Reading!

If you are good at taking school tests, are you outstanding in your college years? if you are good at college tests, are you great at your job behavior? If you are good in your job, are you likely to do good in your personal life? What makes us good in one area and not so good in the other area which has obvious linkages? The usual criteria of intellectual capability and interpersonal behavior are major parts of testing for college admissions or recruitment for jobs. How does it pan out for entrepreneurship? in personal lives? in areas that we look for mastery? what motivates us in one area and fails to motivate us in the other areas of our lives? what is motivation after all? how do we motivate our children, our students, and ourselves and stay motivated?

Motivation for Reading:
We know more about the power of the read-aloud and the discussions that ensue, the value of student choice, the importance of creating literate environments that are purposeful, accessible, and organized, and the significance of teacher attitudes and expectations.
When we as parents/teachers read aloud a favorite book to our children, we are doing more than reading a good story. We are showing our love and enthusiasm for reading and learning, we are sharing our thoughts inviting children to join us and we are encouraging and expecting students to do the same in their reading. Our message is clear: We love reading. We all know you will, too. Let me show you how.
Children know we are not going to ask them to do something beyond their capabilities. We all want them to succeed and offer recommendations that are just within their reach. And because they trust us to know them well, they respond in ways that sometimes surprise us all. Success begets motivation!

Thinking about Reading: Strategies that readers use to construct meaning and decode words.
1. What do readers do to help themselves understand and enjoy their reading?
· Use their schema to make connections between what they already know and new information in the text.
· Create mental images.
· Use their schema and clues in the text to infer its meaning.
· Ask questions before, during and after reading.
2. What do readers do when they come to a word they don’t know?
· First look at the picture and think about the story.
· Next go back, point and slide.
· Go on.
· Then try a word .
Ask: Does it make sense?
Do the letters match?
Does it sound like language?
· Readers also:
Sound out words in chunks.
Find little words in big words.

Book Selection: Showing Students how to select their text.
It should be a norm to choose books from a local library at least once a week, usually on Friday afternoons.
It is important for children to consider:
· The size of the print: Is it too little? Too big? Just, right?
· The words and lines on a page: Are there too many? Too few? Just the right amount?
· The pictures: Do they seem like they will help me read the words?
· Repetition: Is it a predictable text, what I need?
· The words: Can I read all of them? Most of them? None of them at all.
It is important to teach children how to make thoughtful and appropriate choices.
· Content Schema: What’s my schema for this? What do I know about this topic, author, or type of text?
· Myself as a Reader Schema: What do I know about myself as a reader and the books in the classroom to help me make a good choice?
· Motivation: How hard am I willing to work to learn to read this book?
· Variety and Purpose: Have I selected more than one type of text and level of difficulty? Do I have books that are good for practicing what I’m learning or we’re learning how to do it?
Happy Reading!

‘Learning’ it is said, brings a constant change in performance in our quality of life and work. What have you learned today? what have you shared today? what are you going to teach tomorrow? How are you planning to learn and/or share and/or teach? That is the way of life in the times we live in today. The way we learn and the experience we have while learning, shapes our decision, our confidence, and our beliefs in whether we want to learn more or at all.

One Video of the Week:
How we learn is more important than what we learn. This is the heart of Dr. Glenn Dakin’s work and talk. Learning experiences have the power to transform our worldviews. To do this, we need to understand how each learner learns. Do people learn differently? How personal can and should the learning process become? Does everyone use the same skills differently? These are the kinds of questions that Dr. Dakin has asked for 50 years in his career; from his beginnings in gas stations and retail management all the way to his work with firms and institutions such as the Department of the Interior, PepsiCo, Unisys Corporation and American Intercontinental University, where he teaches educators from elementary to higher education. As a Master of Education instructor, Dr. Dakin has concentrated his career on exploring how we apply and plan our learning experiences to enhance what we learn and how we learn.

Reading with Ms. Meenu.
Why do reading and learning matter?
· I want children to understand that readers read to get smarter and to learn about themselves, other people, and the world that reading is something they can do independently that empowers them to control their lives and make the world a better place.
· I want children to know that smart is something you get and that through hard work, effort, and determination they can accomplish their goals.
· I want children to know that readers read, write, think, and learn with purpose and enthusiasm and see themselves as problem-posing, problem-solving citizens of the world who have what it takes to figure things out.
· I want children to engage in conversations and discussions about big ideas with open hearts and minds to be willing to share their own thinking and to appreciate, learn from, and respect the ideas and opinions of others.
· I want children to understand that learning is for always – it’s ongoing, lifelong, and vital.
