![]() ![]() What on earth is going on? Bestselling author Freddy Silva lived among this phenomenon in southern England, an area that hosted 90% of the world's crop circles. Governments set up agents to tell us they're hoaxes but the scientific evidence firmly contradicts this view. And the patterns are getting more intricate. Since the 1890s some 10,000 crop circles have appeared beside ancient sacred sites in Britain and 25 other countries. Except for eighty eyewitnesses, nobody knows how they got there or why. What are they? What makes them? Why are they here? They appear mostly under cover of darkness, complex designs mysteriously imprinted on fields of ripened grain. ![]()

It does not particularly care what we teach, and is only partly about life in the classroom. It does not concern itself much with curriculum. This year, Random House has issued a paperback version that includes a readers’ guide - although we suspect no one really needs suggested discussion questions to engage in deep conversation about the book. However, if we could only recommend one book for summer reading - indeed, if we could assign one book for educators to read - it would be Michelle Kuo’s “ Reading with Patrick.” The hardcover was released in 2017. Every year brings us a new crop of education-related books deserving attention. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() What is a true friend? Christy Miller knows she has two of them: Todd and Katie.

I’ve eased back into computer use over the last year, and I edit more than I used to, but I still try to keep it minimal since there’s a direct correlation between how long I’m on a computer and how much pain I’m in (a chart!).

How do you create one of your Real Life Charts? ![]() I got a chance to talk to Rial-who is now working on a Real Life Charts book with Chronicle-about her daily routine, her approach to creativity, and how she merges her many passions by sharing charts on Instagram.
