A lovely collection of "Doll Magazine" articles written by one of the worlds most knowledgable doll experts. A very interesting and informative read. You'll find the pages brimming with fabulous rare doll photo's as well.

The book begins with a day-by-day list of all the celebrations throughout the month, and then a reproducible calendar for the classroom with clip art of symbols to place on the calendar.

All the books in the collection contain reproducible international children that can be used for multicultural bulletin boards. For this month, the kids featured are an Indian boy and an Indian Girl. And for every holiday, you will find not only lots of creative activities but also historical information to support the learning.

Great resources for the elementary teacher!

This is a great book to use as a re-teaching source for sequencing. It starts with wordless pictures and progresses to complete stories to be put in the proper sequence. I have found it very helpful in my first grade class.

I am using these as a class starter and I love them. They have a big variety of problems. The only negative is my students need more than a minute to do them. Right now we are doing 2, but I will shorten it as time goes on. It's only the 1st week of school!

I bought this book just for some ideas on how to change how I did shared reading. Even though this book is for younger students, I used it many times with my fourth graders.

I often use the Sign2Me flash card series for games we play at home and in the baby sign language classes I teach in Boiling Springs, SC. The cards have adorable pictures on the front for your child to see and associate with the sign you show them (which you can clearly view on the back of the card). The word for the sign is also shown in English and Spanish on the front of the card, so you have the 3 most popular languages in the US and Canada all on one card! The back of the card box shows an index of the signs contained in the box.
Here's an example of one of the games we enjoy playing. There are 5 flash card sets within the series. Each set has a different color for the box/cards. I have a soft dice with a different color on each side, and the colors coordinate with the colors on the flash cards. I lay the flash cards out on the floor in piles, all red in one pile, all blue in another, etc. The child (or mom helping the child) rolls the dice then chooses a card according to the color the dice landed on. We make the sign for that color, then we make the sign that's on that card. This color dice would be very easy to make, or just take a stack of index cards and with the different colors represented by the flash cards, use a crayon to make a 'color blob' on each card. Then have your child choose a card from the index card stack, followed by the coordinating flash card. Easy, fun, and great for teaching colors and signs. This is just one of many games you can use to have fun learning and practicing signs! Be creative and enjoy!

I hope it's ok to do this, but one mom expressed in her review that she wished she could have seen a list of cards that comes with each flash card set. So, here you go...

This is a pre-programed electronic wand that contains all the answers to every question in each IntelliQuest book. Order this and some of the quiz books, and have a blast answering questions. I have 2 of the quiz books, and each has almost 300 questions, so there is a lot to do! This one wand holds the answers to ALL intelliquest quiz books, even books that haven't come out yet!

I am an ESL teacher who bought this series to help me teach science to English Language Learners. The series is written for native speakers, not ELLs, but the student pages are uncluttered, and the language is not complex. Each text includes a variety of experiments and activities to teach key science concepts.

For a skateboard collector this is a must have book on all the cool skateboards that have been manufactured and used through the years. I recommend this book to all skateboard enthusiast and collectors, the pictures are worth the book alone....

Most visual learners need to learn math by seeing a picture of the concept. This book meets that requirement by using familiar objects in a fun and engaging manner. Kinesthetic learners like to manipulate and touch, and there are plenty of games and activities to satisfy their learning style. As a teacher I found the ideas in this book to be the perfect solution for my active students. I frequently use math learning centers and these ideas make the activities fun and useful.Memory Tips for Math, Memorization and Learning Styles: The Successful Way to Teach K-5 Math
