DOWNLOAD EBOOKStory time at the public library is the first exposure to books outside the home for many preschool children. For the librarian, it is an exciting opportunity to instill in youngsters a love of reading and books. But coming up with new ideas that hold the children’s attention can be trying. Until now. Here are 55 tried-and-true story hour programs with a thematic approach. All are highly flexible and adaptable across the full preschool age range. Most of the ideas are arranged under one of eight specific themes that include four to eight one-hour programs: barnyard animals, the Caldecott Medal, colors, families, a storytelling feast, the five senses, reptiles and amphibians, and around the world. There are also 18 individual holiday and seasonal programs. All story hours provide ideas for name tags, suggested audiovisual materials, recommended story, poetry and song selections, additional titles and a full description of the activity.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe second edition of this bestselling book is designed for mental health professionals, educators, and the parent/caregiver, this book provides specific ideas and techniques to work with children in various areas of complicated grief. It presents words and methods to help initiate discussions of these delicate topics, as well as tools to help children understand and separate complicated grief into parts. These parts in turn can be grieved for and released one at a time. A new chapter is included, called "Communities Grieve: Involvement with Children and Trauma." It includes information on The Taiwan Earthquake and how the community worked with children, a school bus accident in which 36 elementary school children witnessed the death of the bus driver that was driving and how the school system worked with these children and their families; a boy who was running on a cross country team and got hit by a car, which was witnessed by teammates; and how a non-profit community grief agency worked with family, school, and community. The last study is from the Oklahoma bombing and the outgrowth of a place for the traumatized children and how they still work with kids and family today. This chapter then contains new activities to work with traumatized grieving children. The new edition also includes updated resources, books, curriculums, websites, hotlines and another new chapter on bullying and victimization issues. The chapter for educators has been expanded, including the coverage of topics such as at-risk students, gay and lesbian issues, and self-injurious behaviors.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“Embarking on one’s memoirs might seem on the surface a terribly pretentious and self-indulgent thing to do. After all, I’m not a B-list celebrity, a politician or a minor sports star. I haven’t trekked to the South Pole, or invented a device to stop cakes tasting scrumptious, or put men on the moon. I’ve lived what could typically be described as an ordinary life. And yet within that ordinary life, there lurks a story. My story.” Angela Norris’ memoir, Dancing to the Beat of the Tide, tells the story of one girl’s growing up in a small sleepy seaside town in the sixties and seventies, against a vibrant background of music, fashion and the emerging disco era. As a child growing up in the Knott End and later nearby Pilling, on Lancashire’s breezy coast, Angela enjoyed an idyllic childhood, playing on the beach, riding ponies and going out for tea. As disco fever swept the country in the early seventies, she and her friends thought they were pop fashion princesses in their hot pants, ready to dance to the music of T.Rex. Angela then goes on to explore life at secondary school and reflects back on reading Jackie magazine, dispensing its wisdom like a big sister. Not to mention listening to Rod Stewart after school, as he grinned from his poster on the bedroom wall. Whilst Angela remembers her childhood, she also introduces readers to a shy blond-haired boy who becomes pivotal to Angela’s story... Dancing to the Beat of the Tide will appeal to fans of memoirs and also those who have a local interest in Lancashire. Angela’s work will also be enjoyed by those who grew up in the sixties and seventies and would like to look back on the society at the time.
