We Long to Fit In – 7 Ways to Try!

December 21, 2020 by Cindi Ferrini

Inclusion and Mainstreaming has long been a back and forth quandary. How inclusive must a classroom be? If the special needs student doesn’t understand numbers should they be in a regular math class?

The Sunny Side of Life

May 15, 2018 by Cindi Ferrini

Each morning I make my husband Joe and I an egg. The goal is to make our eggs “sunny side up” but if (when) the yolk breaks, plan B is in effect: scrambled is served!
