The Urban Flower Project: The Boy Whisperer
http://theurbanflowerproject.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-boy-whisperer.html
The Urban Flower Project. Pick Up a Book! Monday, January 12, 2015. I'm beginning to feel like I should change my name to "The Boy Whisperer" because so much of what drives me as an educator and parent has to do with getting our boys to succeed in life. The following book recommendations sort of answers the questions "What happens when being book-smart isn't enough? And, "How powerful a role does the environment (i.e., neighborhood, community) and peers play in the success or failure of our kids?

The Urban Flower Project: Wolf Week

The Urban Flower Project. Pick Up a Book! Sunday, March 15, 2015. Last year, for one of our Family Movie Days, my dad showed The Grey, a movie starring Liam Neeson and a pack of crazy wolves. That movie inspired a week's worth of wolf stories in my class. I called it Wolf Week. The kids loved it, especially the boys. So, now I'm planning for our 2nd Annual Wolf Week, and I am so excited! I've been chanting "Wolf Week! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. The Urban Flower Project.

The Urban Flower Project: April 2015
http://theurbanflowerproject.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
The Urban Flower Project. Pick Up a Book! Friday, April 17, 2015. Whether at home or at school, children of color need to see people who look like them in their storybooks. This not only promotes their interest in reading, but it also helps build their self esteem. A few of my favorites include (and you can see they're well-worn from repeated use):. Cherish Me by Joyce Carol Thomas. Jamal's Busy Day by Wade Hudson. Bright Eyes by Cheryl Willis and Bernette G. Ford. I Like Myself by Karen Beaumont.
