Mudpies to Magnets: A Preschool Science Curriculum

7 reviews
Robert E. Rockwell, Elizabeth A. Sherwood

Gryphon House, 1987

Lovely homeschooling book
I've read reviews that there's nothing "new" in this book. I'd argue that. As a homeschooling mom, I've read every book out there and was pleasantly surprised to find some new ideas or neat twists on old ideas. Sure, the lessons aren't real in depth and you may wish to supplement with other texts to further explain the experiment, but, it was written for preschoolers! I'd say we'll use this book ...

More Mudpies to Magnets: Science for Young Children

Robert E. Rockwell, Elizabeth A. Sherwood

Gryphon House, 1990

Great science intro for young kids!
I love this book! It is a great introduction to science for young kids, beginning with pre-school age. Sensible focus on asking questions, observing and measuring phenomena. Uses a child's natural curiosity about the world all around and harnesses it to encourage the systematic thought on which science is based. I will be teaching a science class for my daughter's Montessori class every two ...

Action Speaks Louder: A Handbook of Structured Group Techniques

2 reviews
A. Jane Remocker, Elizabeth T. Sherwood

Churchill Livingstone, 1998

Relating this book to clinical practice
This book is one of the main sources of ideas and techniques that I currently employ when working in a group scenario. The client base with which I work are mainly adults who are experiencing an acute psychiatric episode. It allows for a large variance in the abilities of clients and invites the practitioner to modify techniques and methods to best suit the group he/she is working with. Most ...

Firebirds: An Anthology of Original Fantasy and Science Fiction

13 reviews
Lloyd Alexander, Nancy Farmer, ...

Puffin, 2005

One of the best anthologies I've ever read
This is a collection of some of the finest authors in the biz, and I think every single one of them would be proud of their work here. I loved this book, and although I do admit that it is a little misleading calling it an anthology of fantasy and sci fi when there's pretty much no sci fi in it, I forgive it that small glitch because it's just so good. If you're an intelligent reader, or ...
