<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1608934136/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1608934136&linkCode=as2&tag=te09a-20&linkId=IOIAVZ343VVDUZTZ" rel="nofollow"><img border="0" src="http://ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&ASIN=1608934136&Format=_SL250_&ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=te09a-20" height="320" width="320" /></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=te09a-20&l=as2&o=1&a=1608934136" height="1" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /> </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">An alluring title invites young readers into an exquisitely illustrated world where the magic of snow and fairies meet. Set in the forest, <i>under the winter moon</i>, the first page beckons the imagination with enchanting imagery and written possibilities. <br /><br />With a few turns of the page, this story offers vibrant images of fairies, flowers, and sunshine in spring... followed by summer celebrations and a leafy, acorn- filled fall. Bursting with questions, color, and coziness...(along with a wee bit of fairy dust), <i>Where do Fairies go When it Snows</i> is a delightful read aloud—especially for those who love mystical little creatures who <i>nap under mushroom caps</i>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">From questions such as: “Do fairies hibernate like bears, hedgehogs, and raccoons?” to “Ways You Can Take Care of Fairies in the Winter,” this story, written by Liza Gardner Walsh and illustrated by Hazel Mitchell, is a celebration of joy, wonder, and what-ifs.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A Mr. Arachnid Library favorite for illustrations. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="userContent">Students from our reading and enrichment
groups have been having so much fun getting ready for Valentine's Day.
This week, we read books like Diane de-Groat's <i>Roses are Pink Your Feet
Really Stink</i> and created these awesome </span><b><span style="color: magenta;">"Color your Heart Out"</span></b> & <b><span style="color: #0b5394;"> "Color My World"</span></b> Crayon Valentines. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Shaped like hearts, these Valentines are not only fun to make, they're easy, too! I'm not sure who enjoyed making them more...me or the students? In fact, I liked this so much, I made them again at home with my son. Preston loved them, too!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I first saw this idea in a magazine years ago and have revisited it from time to time. It never gets old! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Steps:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. Made with melted Crayola Crayons, we started our project by gathering together lots of old crayons.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. Next, we peeled off all the paper. By the time I did this with my last student, I decided it might be more motivating if we raced to see who could peel their paper the fastest. This sped things up quite nicely!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">3. Then, we broke the crayons into pieces and separated them into color families. This also made a nice discussion on grouping and patterns.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOhXgJK5jo1rA-Jl9ZzwUdg8YEd8-bD3xX-ZQ8xgqCyHnOXIwt208e3AV9LwJar1VC0QvRhM3DJ28ftdmDfFQVvIBU39iDoFdLynVkVbd5Ne30oTJ5k0DrLGSpRSzx2UaN3emCcjTkXY6o/s1600/Crayon+Color+Families.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOhXgJK5jo1rA-Jl9ZzwUdg8YEd8-bD3xX-ZQ8xgqCyHnOXIwt208e3AV9LwJar1VC0QvRhM3DJ28ftdmDfFQVvIBU39iDoFdLynVkVbd5Ne30oTJ5k0DrLGSpRSzx2UaN3emCcjTkXY6o/s1600/Crayon+Color+Families.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">4. Finally, we used a heart shaped silicon baking mold to melt our crayons in. We placed them in a preheated oven at 250 degrees and baked them for 20 minutes. We let them cool for about 25 minutes and then gently removed them from the mold.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We packaged our crayons in pink tinted bags with some other treats, but there are all kinds of creative ways to package these Tender Lovin' Treasures.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here is a link to a Martha Stewart video where she packages <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/920843/good-thing-crazy-crayon-party-favors#920843" target="_blank">Crazy Crayons.</a></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I’ve used this activity so many times…and, it’s always a
hit! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">At my son’s 3<sup>rd</sup> birthday
party—a Pizza Party Pirate Style, I set up a fingerprint art station where the
kids lined up to create ocean themed fingerprint art which they stamped onto ocean
themed scenes. They used their thumbs to
create fish and octopus bodies and then used a marker to draw in the details
such as the eyes and face. To complete their octopus creations, they added 8 squiggly little legs. The activity was simple to set up, simple to
instruct and left the kids feeling very proud. Even the most reluctant artists can use their own fingers to create adorable little creatures.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So, while surfing the net the other day, I
came across some cool fingerprint art ideas.
I was especially excited to see the spring themed creations (yay,
spring!) and decided to share some of
the links I found. I hope you like them.</span></div>

"Stuffed with clever wordplay, groanable puns, and
easy-to-ham-it-up animal sounds, the chuckle-inducing narrative makes a
crowd-pleasing read-aloud. Turkey's get-ups are exuberantly silly and the
animals' sardonic facial expressions are sublime" said the School Library
Journal, and we couldn't have described it better!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Written by Wendy Silvano with illustrations by Lee Harper, Turkey Trouble is both a classroom and family favorite! With lots of "great ideas" and a few "Oh, Gobble, Gobbles!" Turkey Trouble is truly the perfect Thanksgiving read aloud and hard-cover "must have" for your children's book collection! </span><br />

I was recently surprised by the local nightlife here in the
outskirts of small town PA.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have two boys. Ronnie-16. Preston-4. Like most families,
we're often on the lookout for things we can do together that everyone will
enjoy. Last night was no exception.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
When our evening plans to visit with family were cancelled, the scent of
disappointment wafted through the car like and old Sippy cup full of sour milk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In an attempt to save the evening and do
something fun as a family, we decided to take a scenic ride through the
countryside. <br />
With Ronnie’s new spotlight in tow, we headed out to the back roads of
Central PA. Our only goals: to enjoy the scenery and spot a few deer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
As it turned out, we found there is a lot that goes on when the sun goes
down. From bats and skunks to deer and possum...there is a real busyness in the
woods at night.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I mean, I knew there
were nocturnal animals, but, I never expected to see so many in one evening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first little guy we came across was a very arrogant possum.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He sat in the middle of the road nibbling
away on his bedtime snack.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead of
being scared away by our headlights, his stare seemed to say, “Do you mind?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> We imagined various ways of interacting with this guy. </span><br />
We also saw many deer (13 in total), and many zipping-zapping bats—nothing too
impressive at first.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, then, we saw a
mischievous coyote and a very sneaky red fox tiptoeing along the side of the
road. Where were they going? Perhaps, to grandmother's house to join the BIG BAD WOLF or maybe they were headed to "Bloomingdale's to buy a hat that would turn out to be a mistake."<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
As we were heading home, the last and most exciting creature we spotted was
a large owl.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His wide wings caught my
attention.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We
watched as he spread his wings and with silent flight, he pushed his talons forward, lowering them like landing gear, to snatch something out of the air.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He left out a loud screech and flew to the
top of a tree where we saw his head shift from side to side nearly making a
complete circle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We were in awe!<br />
Who would have thought there was such nightlife here in PA? On the way home, we decided that our simple ride had provided a lot of
entertainment. We also decided, we will do it again.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> I</span>t might be fun
to keep a journal of all the creatures we spot along the way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> So if your looking for some simple and relaxing family fun, head out on a nighttime nature ride. Don't forget your spotlight!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What's on your to-do list this summer?</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The warmth of the sun, the sounds of the birds and the bees, and the smell of a cook-out nearby all spell summer. </span></span><br />

"Pumpkins, Pumpkins, Pumpkin Pie! I must have one before I die. It must be round and brown as toast, or I'll haunt this house a hungry ghost"... are the words i look forward to chanting each Halloween. Who do I read this wonderfully spooky picture book to? Everyone! From mid-September to the end of October, I could be caught carrying, "The Perfect Pumpkin Pie" with me just about anywhere.<br />
<br />
Written and illustrated by <b class="h3color">Denys Cazet, </b><span class="h3color">The Perfect Pumpkin Pie" is the "perfect" Halloween read- aloud for children (and adults) of all ages. With laugh-out-loud funny illustrations such as the one on the cover showing an extremely picky and ever so grouchy Mr. Wilkerson, the words in the story have a contagious and irresistible way of flowing off the tongue. Those that listen will have no choice but to chant along! </span> <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

This post is about throwing together a few ideas to create a memorable children's party. I wasn't planning on blogging about it, but I thought it might serve as a bit of inspiration for busy parents. <br />
My son, Preston's third birthday was nearly two weeks away. I hadn't planned a thing! Was it too late? During a quick shopping trip to Target, an adorable birthday party invitation caught my eye. The cover showed an image of a pirate boy. Hmm... I thought for a moment, and plopped a few packs into my cart. Preston likes pirates. Can I turn "PIRATES" into his theme? What will we eat? Where will it be? All sorts of questions went through my mind, and then, the answers all came together to form a plan.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I was able to rent a room at a local pizza shop. They would provide the pizza. All I needed were some decorations, drinks, cake and ice-cream. I was almost there! I began to think like a pirate--a "pizza-eating" pirate!<br />
First, the cake: I took the invitation to a local bakery for inspiration and this is what they came up with: <br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
I thought it was cute...especially for being so last minute. The drinks were easy: some bottled water and soda placed in an icy treasure chest for easy access. The decorations...coins, beads (the loot and treasure), lots and lots of red and blue balloons, and some red, blue, and map covered table cloths.<br />
<br />

Then, the goody bags: I wanted to use them as sort of a decoration, so I made the pirate boy from the invitation and stapled a friendly little face to each of the bags. I also tied a balloon to each of the bags. They turned out pretty cute! You can see them in the background of the photo above. Next, I had to come up with a hands-on activity for the kids and some giveaways (of course). I decided to turn the kids into little pirates by giving them an eye patch and a bandana. I also armed them with swords. For the activity, I had the kids create their own thumbprint ocean designs. All we needed was ink-pads, some markers and some tiny fingers. Thumbprint octopuses....little orange fish...it's amazing what a kid will come up with! They loved the activity, and it was a nice keepsake for the moms and dads.<br />

Since I sent out the invitations last minute, they served more as a reminder. I made phone calls and used FaceBook to get the word out! Everything turned out great...except, we were so busy visiting and making fingerprint pictures that we didn't have time to get any super good photos.<br />
The kids are still talking about the party and from what I hear, they're looking forward to the next one. I better get planning!! In the mean time, my little pirate is causing me to "Shiver Me Timbers" as I try to type this post. I'm about to make him "Walk the Plank!" <br />

way to reinforce good behavior; and substitutes will appreciate this one-of-a-kind classroom management tool designed especially for them. Also, kids will get a kick

lives in the crook of an old oak tree just outside of NEW YORK CITY.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was very happy there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every day was the same as the day before and
the day before that, and the…well, you see what I mean.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The web shakes, you wake up, and you eat a
bug.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ah, yes… life was good for our
misunderstood friend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, this was all
about to change.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Mr. Arachnid woke up one morning to a very loud noise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His web <i>shook</i> like it never had before, but
there was nothing trapped inside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What
is going on, he wondered?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Suddenly another loud crash!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>His web <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">shook</i> even more than
the first time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“What is happening here?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr. Arachnid shouted!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another CRASH, another THUD, then BUZZ, BUZZ, BUZZzzz…and a cRAsH, BaNG, THuD.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“OH MY!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The trees!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The trees are falling down—one by one!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Down, down, down!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>Mr. Arachnid
worried: What if the tree my web is in falls down, too?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Whatever will I do?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Oh, whatever will I do?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will have no home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will have no food!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I will have no place to sleep!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What shall I do?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Then, a strange...but, wonderful thing happened. Mr. Arachnid
had a great idea—a greater than great idea…a SUPER, STUPENDOUS, COLOSSAL, BIGGER than BIG idea.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What if, he
thought, I leave this place and travel the world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe, I’ll meet new friends, and together we
can stop this madness.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Our hairy little friend didn’t know for sure how he was going
to go about leaving the old oak tree, but he knew he had to try.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Who can help me?” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mr. Arachnid wondered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Maybe my friend Little Brown will
have an idea.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Only one tree over, there lived a very unlikely friend of Mr.
Arachnid’s—Little Brown—the Little Brown Bat, who just so happened to be on his
way over to see if Mr. Arachnid knew what all the noise was that was <i>shaking</i>
his roost and keeping him awake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After
all, he was up all night eating bugs, and he needed to get to sleep…And, who
could sleep with all this noise?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Good morning, Mr. Arachnid.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Little
Brown!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Little Brown!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Come look and see…the trees…the trees are
falling down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What is happening?” While
watching the trees fall, first one, then another, Mr. Arachnid told his friend
all about the idea he had.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Little Brown
said, “I’ll help, too!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Let’s make a
plan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who do we know who can help us?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The words no sooner left Little Brown’s mouth when, “OWWWWW,
owwww” from out of the brush, around the bottom of the old oak tree, sprang yet
another friend of Mr. Arachnid and Little Brown’s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was Edowrd T. Gray Wolf.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">“Edword! Edword!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Come
and see!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>See<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>what is happening!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The three unlikely friends sat and watched as
one tree fell, then another, and yet another.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>As they watched, Mr. Arachnid and Little Brown filled Edword in on their
plans.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Edword shouted, “OWWWWW!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m in!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Even though the unlikely three had no idea what to do next,
they knew they were going to do something.</span></div>Touche' Kidshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17040204757251456324noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423809403332471527.post-26159234199344982692012-07-10T10:25:00.002-07:002012-07-10T11:00:13.492-07:00Painting on Rocks…It’s not Just for Kids<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"> They come in all different shapes and sizes. They’re free, and fun to find, skip, and

painting on! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"> Who would have thought that rocks would make such an
excellent canvas for the imagination? <a href="http://www.klutz.com/" target="_blank">Klutz</a>, that’s who (okay and maybe grandma, too)! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"> Made up of crystals and minerals, each backyard treasure,
with its own unique shape and size (and a little imagination) has the potential
to become a painted masterpiece. In
their book, <i>Painted Rocks</i>, Klutz provides “tips, techniques, and inspiration”
for painting on one of nature’s most abundant resources. The book comes with paints, a brush, and even
a rock as well as a few googlie eye accessories…The rest is up to you!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;">I purchased my copy of the Klutz book a few years ago, and
found myself completely inspired by all the colorful examples of rock art! Since then, it has become a family-fun
favorite activity. Over the years, we’ve
used this craft as an inexpensive addition to birthday parties and backyard
picnics. Our rock painting booth was an
especially popular addition to the Country Fair themed birthday party we threw
one year.</span><br />

This blog post is inspired
by both <b><span style="font-size: small;"><i style="color: #783f04;">Owl Talk</i></span><span style="color: orange;"> </span></b>(our<b>
</b>factual song about owls) and my own somewhat freaky fascination with owl pellets. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;">
Extraordinary adaptations of vision (similar to the night vision of a cat), hearing (acute enough to
pick up a mouse's footstep under the snow), and silent flight, make owls an especially interesting topic for classroom study.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
A few summers ago, while doing research for our song, Ted and I spent some time observing and learning about Barn Owls. A Barn Owl (as shown in the photo to the left) has a scream-like call and often nests in abandoned buildings, church towers, and barns. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During our time with the owls, we learned how their dish-shaped faces help them to pin-point the direction from which a sound is coming. We also learned a bit about the legends and myths that surround the owl. We've all heard of the saying, "Wise old owl, " which comes from the owl's large round eyes that make it look so wise. Apparently, in addition to looking wise, its mysterious nocturnal habits caused even the ancient Athenians to regard the owl as an astonishing creature. They chose the owl as a companion for their patron, Athena, the goddess of wisdom. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
From reading stories about owls and their powers to actually observing these amazing creatures, one of my favorite experiences was dissecting an owl pellet and labeling what I found inside. From this hands-on activity, I learned that owls usually swallow their prey whole, sometimes eating creatures almost as large as themselves. They digest the edible parts, and the rest—bones, fur, and teeth is compressed by the owl's stomach into a pellet, which the owl then regurgitates.<br />
<br />
Although Ted was not quite as excited about dissecting owl barf, I know that most kids are! This is why I was
completely thrilled when I found the <b><a href="http://www.kidwings.com/" style="color: #38761d;" target="_blank">Kid Wings</a></b>
website which invites kids (and adults like me) to <b style="color: #38761d;"><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif";">virtually dissect owl pellets</span></b>.</b> <b style="color: #783f04;"><span style="color: #783f04;">H</span>ow exciting!! </b>The latest version of this site
makes pulling apart and sorting the pellet simple, educational, and fun. Interactive
instructional pieces along with teacher resources make this site a terrific
addition to any lesson on animal adaptations and owls.<br />

According to <a href="http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/birds/snowy-owl/" target="_blank">National Geographic</a>, "These magnificent owls sometimes remain year-round in their northern
breeding grounds, but they are frequent migrants to Canada, the northern
United States, Europe, and Asia."<br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Reading and writing activities happen all day long! Whether you are writing out a grocery list or reading a recipe, allow your child to participate in some way. Let him choose a snack that he would like to include on the grocery list or cut out pictures from the store ads and glue them to the list. He will quickly learn that reading and writing have a purpose.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 200%;"> “I am an astronaut!” seven year old Neil beamed as he pulled a paper-made helmet over his head. “I am a scientist!” exclaimed young Albert as a purple liquid oozed over the sides of his tube. Is it a coincidence that these students share their names with two of the most famous men in history, or did these events really take place while Neil Armstrong and Albert Einstein were young boys? Whether preparing to walk on the moon, developing the <i>Theory of Relativity</i>, or simply participating in pretend play, imagination is central to the creation of new ideas. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 200%;">“All human beings, even small children, are creative and that creativity is the foundation for art as well as for science and technology. This creative ability Vygotsky (1995) called imagination” (Lindqvist, 2003, p. 249). “Imagination is a form of knowing that children, by the indigenous nature of their childhood, use as an active way of understanding—of being at the very heart of theirs’ and others’ aliveness” (Lewis, 2007, p.23). However, in the educational world of standardized curriculum and tests, imagination in the classroom often seems left out.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 200%;"> A young boy once became fascinated with the old saying, “No two snowflakes are alike.” During each snowfall, he wondered what the tiny white flakes really looked like. He went on to capture the first photograph of a single snow crystal. In his lifetime, he photographed more than 500 snowflakes and found that the saying he heard as a child was true. Just like the children in a classroom, no two are alike. The boy became known as Snowflake Bentley (Briggs-Martin, 1998). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 200%;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 200%;"> “I have a dream,” Martin Luther King said. As it turns out, he is not the only one. In classrooms where teachers value imagination, are students more likely to realize their dreams? In the past, imagination and creativity in education were often associated with the arts (Claxton, 2006). But, how is imagination in education perceived in these modern days of the 21<sup>st</sup> century? As rapidly changing technology and innovation become society’s focal point, one has to wonder, how would a young Neil Armstrong, Albert Einstein, Wilson Bentley, or Martin Luther be viewed today? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-size: small; line-height: 200%;">If children are to have the maximum opportunity to learn, strategies and techniques must be partnered with approaches that best do so. Could gaining a clearer sense of imagination and bringing imagination to the forefront of education lead to better classroom instruction and deeper learning for all? </span></div>
