If you’ve got first graders like me, then have them do their own self-portrait, and send it home to have parents come up with words that describe their child. I can’t wait to see what my students come up with. Once you have done that as a class, each student gets their own sheet to draw a self-portrait and come up with words that describe them and their name. Chrysanthemum thinks her name is absolutely perfect& until her first day of school. The first is an activity where the students think about what they know about Chrysanthemum and think of words that describe her and her name. Written and illustrated by Kevin Henkes, the nationally bestselling and celebrated creator ofLillys Purple Plastic Purse,Owen, andKittens First Full Moon,Chrysanthemumis a dont-miss classic, especially for back to school. I have included 2 activities to help you get to know your students and for them to get to know each other. Retelling is an essential Common Core Skill and this will help your students begin to practice this vital skill.Īt the beginning of the year, I always do name activities to get to know my students. It provides the perfect introduction to name activities, as well as reinforces the importance of speaking kind words. The boxes without lines would be great for kinder or beginning first graders, and the ones with lines would work for second graders. 1-2-3 Come Do Some Chrysanthemum Activities With Me One of my students’ all-time favorite back to schoolbooks is Chrysanthemumby Kevin Henkes. There are several different worksheets you can choose from to differentiate for your students. Wealth comes at a price, though, and she is soon wrapped up in a deception that leads her down a dangerous path. With no one else to claim it, Minnie has turned into an heiress overnight.

When a twist of fate lands me at rock bottom, I make the ultimate decision and give away the only thing I have left-my freedom. I do things I never thought I'd be capable of, becoming a person so hardened to the world that when I look in the mirror, all I see is a stranger.

Additionally, the author has added fantastic side characters, such as Harold MacAlister, who gives this action-packed book a comical edge. Yost has done an excellent job of creating each character’s backstory, adding depth and layers to their personalities. The story depicts the role of British intelligence during the war in Iraq, introducing characters as former intelligence officers whose past has made it difficult for them to continue down the same path. Set in 2015, Yost has carefully curated fictional characters against the backdrop of real-life events, crafting an impeccable example of historical fiction. ML Yost has managed to create a lasting impression with Conflict of Intrigues. As the two former intelligencers, now professor and publisher, cross paths, they soon realize their conflicting interests could impact a broader audience than they initially anticipated. Alongside him is Katherine McKenna, an American publishing executive in London who is also struggling with a kindred dilemma. Conflict of Intrigues: The Marylebone Intersection, the first book in the Intersection series by ML Yost, introduces readers to Professor Jon Markston, a former member of the British Army intelligence corps who finds himself in an exacting position when a mysterious call signals a decade-old troubled mission. Fathi’s iD papers are confiscated and he is told to report to the police station before night falls. Desperate to get away from the noise and the zombie-like masses, Fathi leaves his house to visit his mother and his girlfriend, but en route stops to help a student who is being beaten by the police. The heat is oppressive and loudspeakers blare as an endless parade takes over the streets. The entire populace has mobilized to celebrate the twenty-year anniversary of the reigning despot in this unnamed Middle eastern country. The Silence and the Roar follows a day in the life of Fathi Sheen, an author banned from publishing because he refuses to write propaganda for the ruling government. Paperback copies should be ordered in advance Kindle versions immediately available. Publisher: Pushkin Press (10 Januar 2013)īuy now on Amazon or via your local English bookstore.Īvailable in English for the first time, The Silence and the Roar is a funny, sexy, dystopian novel about the struggle of an individual over tyranny. "Beautiful artwork depicts characters coping with life’s increasing responsibilities and is especially sumptuous when focusing on the yummy desserts. Ganucheau's art, in black ink with varying shades of blue, mixes traditional paneling with beautiful double-page spreads of detailed baking scenes, where the panels sometimes take on the shape of braided loaves.A tender blend of sugary, buttery, and other complex flavors that's baked with a tremendous dash of heart." -Kirkus, starred review "Panetta and Ganucheau's graphic novel debut is as much a love story between people as it is with the act of baking. Author Panetta’s story is baked to perfection: a crush that turns to infatuation-and later love-in the confines of a professional kitchen bristling with hot stoves, stuffed shelves, and perfectly shaped spanakopita." - Los Angeles Review of Books "This is the best kind of romantic tale: innocent and unfussy, yet overwhelming. You’re afraid you don’t have the right kind of training or degree. You’re afraid you don’t have the right kind of work space, or financial freedom, or empty hours in which to focus on invention or exploration. You’re afraid you don’t have the right kind of discipline. You’re afraid that someday you’ll look back on your creative endeavors as having been a giant waste of time, effort, and money. You’re afraid your dreams are embarrassing. You’re afraid your work isn’t politically, emotionally, or artistically important enough to change anyone’s life. You’re afraid you won’t be taken seriously. You’re afraid somebody will steal your ideas, so it’s safer to keep them hidden forever in the dark. You’re afraid everybody else already did it better. You’re afraid somebody else already did it better. You’re afraid there’s no market for your creativity, and therefore no point in pursuing it. You’re afraid you’ll be rejected or criticized or ridiculed or misunderstood or-worst of all-ignored. “Let me list for you some of the many ways in which you might be afraid to live a more creative life: You’re afraid you have no talent. The direction of our paper is closer to the second category. These insights should prove especially valuable in the undergraduate physics classroom, where investigations into pendulums and oscillations are commonplace. Our analysis contributes a computational exploration of the complex harmonic motion that can result from radially driving a pendulum and sheds light on a mechanism by which oscillations can be amplified parametrically. We propose and show by a numerical model that appropriately timed radial forcing can increase the oscillation amplitude in a manner consistent with Poe's story. In this manner, radial driving can easily and intuitively be understood, and the fundamental concept applied in many other areas. We discuss parametric amplification and the transfer of energy (through the parameter of the pendulum's length) to the oscillating part of the system. We first show that increasing the length of an undriven pendulum at a uniform rate does not amplify the oscillations in a manner consistent with the behavior of the scythe in Poe's story. Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's The Pit and the Pendulum, we investigate a radially driven, lengthening pendulum. Obviously the message here is that its not whether you win or lose, its how you play the game. “Maybe she’d score a goal, maybe she wouldn’t.” The next day she is allowed to play again, and when she doesn’t make the goal “she feels tears in her eyes.” She hears whispering that she’s going to quit, but she realizes she loves playing soccer even more than she hates losing, and she keeps playing. Quitters can’t play on my team.” Mia is forced on the sidelines, just watching. The next day when she shows up to play, her brother won’t let her. Her older brother puts his arm arund her and says, “Better luck next time.” But Mia says “I quit,” and storms off the field. Goal! Everybody on her team would cheer.”īut then Mia has a bad day, and she doesn’t score any goals there’s no cheering for her. She’d kick the ball straight into the net. Her toes kept the ball exactly where she wanted it. It’s about her childhood when she spent her days playing soccer with her family. This book is by famed soccer player, Mia Hamm. |
