Everyone, except Boris, that is! When Boris gets wind of this, he decides to throw his own fete, and invites everyone except, you've guessed it, Bella. Is simply put my f...

Booktopia: February 2008
http://booktopia.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 26, 2008. Julia Gillian and the Art of Knowing. When her mother will butter her toast, and what plate she will put her toast on. Alison McGhee has written a sweet "moment in time" story about Julia Gillian's summer. She is growing up, and fighting parts of it. Black and white illustrations by Drazen Kozjan perfectly compliment the story. Julia Gillian is a great read for fans of Ivy and Bean. And those who have outgrown Amber Brown. Friday, February 22, 2008. Jesse Karp is back! This is...

Booktopia: The 12 Days of Halloween - Georgie's Halloween
http://booktopia.blogspot.com/2008/10/12-days-of-halloween-georgies-halloween.html
Monday, October 20, 2008. The 12 Days of Halloween - Georgie's Halloween. I have had a few of these moments as a Children's Librarian over the past 10 or so years. (It never really happened with the YA stuff earlier). I am busily shelving or edging, and a book catches my eye. I pull it off the shelf and low and behold it is a treasure from my childhood. It happened with The Mitten. And more recently with Georgie's Halloween. A walk down memory lane! Labels: 12 Days of Halloween. I am a school librarian&#...

Monday, October 6, 2008. In memory of Matthew Shepard, October 6, 1998. The Laramie Project: Tectonic Theater. And About Face Theatre. Labels: About Face Theatre. I saw a performance of The Laramie project a few years ago and it was very moving. October 8, 2008 at 6:38 PM. This reading was incredibly affecting. The About Face youth ensemble did a little of the narration - really a powerful evening. October 8, 2008 at 8:05 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Books on my pile.

leaping to the future: Thing 17
http://leaping2thefuture.blogspot.com/2009/04/thing-17.html
Leaping to the future. Thursday, April 16, 2009. Podcasts are really amazing. It is a great way to supplement instruction and keep students' interest. The multisensory and differentiated learning components are built into the Podcast. I explored a few related to reading and language. I subscribed to one for grammar rules. As I felt that it would supplement my grammar lessons in a more interesting way. I also liked the Word of the Day. April 20, 2009 at 12:25 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Knitting Librarian: October 2009
http://theknittinglibrarian.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
At the Ravelry party I got to sit with some people that spin and they were also helpful with tips for spinning. Everyone was so nice. It was really cold, but I wore tons of layers and didn't feel too cold which was great. I suggest if anyone is in the Northeast that you should attend the festival next year, it's a really great time! Everything seems to be working. I think I've finally got it. Still need to add a few things on my sidebar, but on the whole I like the new layout. I have also ordered yarn fo...

Friday, October 24, 2008. Make sure it adds value. I drove 4 of us to the RA 2.0 (Adult Reading Round Table) program the other day in Schaumburg and I knew all of the jargon (thnx ELL! 160;Having lived much of this info in the whirlwind of ELL, it was good to hear some additional applications for some of these tools and also be reminded that this is where we are right now (and we're all. And that's really something to remember. . Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Okay, I miss...
