Why Is Evrybdy Picking on Us (Curriculum)

Erik L. Johnson, Richard E. Hess

Weatherhill, 2001

Best Book You Can Buy For Goldfish
Not much to add to the title. The book is written by experts and has more information than any other book I've read on Goldfish. The author also has a website with even more information. The illustrations are beautiful. If you intend to raise or just have pet Goldfish, this is the only book you will need.

All-of-a-kind family

Sydney Taylor

Modern Curriculum Press, 1991

Early Jewish Reading
This book is the first chapter book to interest my six year old. The characters, five sisters, each have their own personalities which are drawn in detail and carried through all of their adventures. The stories are sweet, focusing on everyday life in a poor jewish family at the turn of the century in New York (on the lower east side). The traditions will be familiar to an educated jewish reader ...

A Work in Progress: Behavior Management Strategies & A Curriculum for Intensive Behavioral Treatment of Autism

Ron Leaf, John McEachin, ...

Drl Books, 1999

Just what I needed
Right after I got the autism diagnosis for my son I realized that behavioral therapy would be our main focus of treatment and due to financial constraints, I would be the primary therapist. After reading some really heady and intellectual literature on behavioral therapy I just wanted to scream, "Yes, I know, but tell me what to do!!" A Work in Progress does just that. It is simply ...

The Owl and the Pussycat
ISBN 0399231935 - A quick glance through the pages of the board book edition from G. P. Putnam's Sons didn't give me high hopes for this book, but I have - once again - been surprised by what can work in a board book! The owl and the pussycat hop in a boat and head out to sea, where Owl proposes in song. They buy a ring from a pig and are married by a turkey... and that, you have to know, ...

Sampson Resources, 2006

a beautiful inspiration
This is the first Omartian book I have read, and I love it. The breakdown is short easy chapters, so I can read a few minutes and still cover a topic. Great advise and insights are on every page. I also plan to use it as a reference/refresher when I need advice.

Ingenuity. Imagination. Depictions. Diagrams.
Put these four things together--ingenuity, imagination, depictions, diagrams-- and you have a double ID toward understanding how things work. David Macaulay and Neil Ardley put together a magnificent volume for children and children at heart containing a way of understanding the laws of physics and mechanics. The first illustration even shows God busy creating the rotation of the earth. Then ...

William Shakespeare

Oxford University Press, USA, 1995

A popular play in an edition fabulously rich in helps
This play is best known for the St. Crispian's Day "Band of Brothers" speech given by King Henry just before the battle at Agincourt. It is a powerful speech that rallies people at all times and everywhere. Sir Lawrence Olivier made a film version in 1944 during WWII and Kenneth Branagh made another as recently as 1989. You can count on there being more versions. Epecially so when computers ...

Have Fun. Learn Stuff. Grow.: Homeschooling and the Curriculum of Love

11 reviews
David H. Albert

Common Courage Press, 2005

Remember why we do this...
David Albert is without a doubt, one of the most refreshing voices in the alternative education movement. He shows you what is possible in educating our children; and does it with infectious joy and good humor. Life should be fun! Learning should be fun! Why do we make such a drudgery out of it? Why do we torture our children so? I am speaking mostly to myself here, lest anyone take offense. ...

Flambards (Oxford Children's Modern Classics)

K.M. Peyton

Oxford University Press, 1999

wonderfully written, timeless story
I first read this trilogy 18 years ago, shortly after I had seen bits and pieces of the series of the same name on PBS, and I was unable to put it down. Although the books are geared towards young adults, do NOT let that hinder you--adults of any age will find these novels appealing because they are well-written, the characters are fully developed and engaging, and the storyline, with its ...

OXFORD UP CHILDREN'S, 2005

Awsome!!
I love this book because every little part of it is very interesting and you are hooked to it the whole time. It has a little mystery, some action, and the author is good at descriptions. This book reminds me of the books by Roald Dahl. I recommend this book to people of all ages.

The Comedy of Errors (Cambridge School Shakespeare)

William Shakespeare

Cambridge University Press, 1992

A great place to start reading Shakespeare - just read more!
One of the problems that great artists present to us is where to begin in getting to know their works. Their masterworks are often so full of what they have spent a lifetime developing that most of it is lost on those who have not yet put in a significant amount of effort becoming familiar with that artist's style and means of expression. Yet, if one begins with their apprentice works one may ...

Carol Ann Tomlinson

Association for Supervision & Curriculum Deve, 1999

Great Resource!
I read this book through as soon as I received it. Tomlinson is well-respected in her field. Most everything I have read concerns gifted students. This is an excellent resource for ALL students. Differentiation is absolutely necessary in today's classrooms. If all students are to reach their full potential, we must meet them where they are -- and they are all over the place! With so many ...

The Only Early Childhood Programming Book You Need To Buy!
I have taught five and six year olds for years. This year I'll be working with four year olds. I bought about a dozen books to help with my programming but this really is the only book I needed to buy. It's FANTASTIC! It tells you what to do for morning circle, story ideas, music and movement ideas, a range of learning centres that cater for the preferred learning styles of the children and then ...
