Chris hosts the popular A.T.TIPSCAST podcast but has been finding in increasingly difficult to carve out time to generate new episodes. Melissa revealed the surprise in the form of a Christmas present. In the episode, she describes one of the tools she uses with the different students she supports, especially in her reading class. That resource, NEWSELA, is described in detail by Melissa in Episode #140 of the A.T.TIPSCAST.
