Chalkboard Chatter: Testing Season, Teaching Joy, Crockpot Comfort, and a Springtime Getaway

In this episode of Chalkboard Chatter, Candice Nicholson talks about what the M-Step test and Common Core State Standards mean for Michigan students, shares the joy of watching 4th and 5th graders master new skills, keeps the crockpot going with a comforting collard greens recipe, reflects on a Valentine’s anniversary weekend in Grand Rapids, and looks forward to welcoming her Michigan State University sons home for break. It is a warm mix of education, life, food, and family.
