We had a family vacation planned with one of our children and three of our grandchildren. I had an idea that we could all read the same book and then discuss it while we were on vacation. So I texted my granddaughter Ava who is in 6th grade.
She responded with this
 Eight of us went on a family vacation to Truckee, California: four adults and four children, and almost everyone read the book before we got there. The book was fantastic. I still think about the main character, Melody, and I hope she is doing well. I know it is fiction, but she must be based on someone, I was surprised by how much fun this was, the level of the discussions, and of the compassion the children possessed. Part of the success of this was that we chose a book they were interested in, rather than one the adults liked. Here is a video with more of the experience: Is your school dropping some of your developmental math courses? In California, the CSU system will eliminate all developmental math courses starting this Fall. But our students have not changed. So, while everyone tries to find a solution, we have some options for you: Our corequisite textbooks can be added on to any textbook you are using. Each corequisite book contains 20 lessons. You can cover them all at the beginning of your course, or you can cover specific lessons when you need them. Each textbook sells for $24 to the student. For more information go to www.xyztextbooks.com.
Each corequisite textbook is accompanied by a bootcamp course. Students can access the corresponding bootcamp course for free if they have an All-Access Pass to XYZ Textbooks, or for as little as $20, if they do not have an All-Access Pass. We have three courses running now. Three more will be released by the end of the year, including Bootcamp for Statistics. For more information go to www.xyztextbooks.com.
