How Did “OK” Become One of the Most Popular Words in the World?
Young Boston intellectuals in the early 1800s used a humorous code of abbreviated phrases, like “KC,” or “knuff ced”; “KY,” “know yuse”; and “OW,” “oll wright.” And while most of them eventually fell out of fashion, one abbreviation persisted: “OK,” or “oll korrect.”
OK started off as the LOL of its time. Then Martin Van Buren’s presidential campaign popularized it and its brevity proved useful for sending telegraph messages. You can read more about the history of the word in Allan Metcalf’s book, OK: The Improbable Story of America’s Greatest Word.

Middle School Science Minute

Illuminating Food Webs: A Maker Jigsaw
I was recently reading the August, 2018 issue of “Science Scope,” a magazine written for middle school science teachers, published by the National Science Teachers Association.
In this issue, I read the article “Illuminating Food Webs: A Maker Jigsaw” written by Shelly Rodriguez, Jason Harron, Patrick Benfield, and Miriam Reyes. The article brings “making” into the science classroom by providing students the opportunity to bring the curriculum to life by combining engineering and design practices with their own creativity.
From the Twitterverse:
