January Update

Could it be the end of January already?
Guess so, since I’m almost ready to present at the 6th Annual Early Childhood Education Conference, Saturday, Feb. 6 at Seminole State College, in Sanford, Florida.

It is always a joy to share my books with educators, especially when there is time for me to talk about some of the activities (science, math, language arts, music and art) that can be used with them. Right now I’m working on a hand-out for the Feb. 6 Conference called “Suggested Activities for Early Childhood Educators” to use with my picture book, “Over in the Ocean, in a Coral Reef” published by Dawn Publications in 2004.

If anyone reading this blog would like me to e-mail you a copy of this five-page document, just send me an e-mail.

And, along this line, educators (and parents) may want to check out the books listed below that mention one or more of my books. It really is exciting for me to know how many professionals have recommended my books in the resource books they have written about using children’s picture books to guide inquiry in the classroom and other instructional settings.

"A to Zoo – Children’s and Young Adult Literature Reference" (Marsh Music, 2000)
"Content Area Literacy for Diverse Learners" (Over in the Ocean, in a Coral Reef 2004)
"Crash Course in Storytime Fundamentals" (Over in the Ocean, in a Coral Reef 2004)
"Get Up and Move with Non-Fiction" (Over in the Ocean, in a Coral Reef 2004)
"Math at Their Own Pace" (Over in the Ocean, in a Coral Reef 2004)
"Models for Teaching Writing – Craft Target Skills" (Marsh Morning, 2003)
"More Picture Perfect Science Lessons: Using Children’s Books to GuideInquiry K-4" (Over in the Ocean)
"More Science Adventures with Children’s Literature: Reading Comprehension and Inquiry-Based Science" (Over in the Jungle, a Rainforest Rhyme 2007)
"Picture Perfect Science: Using Children’s Books to Guide Inquiry, Grades 3-6" (Seashells by the Seashore, 2002)
"Science is Simple: Activities for Preschoolers" (Over in the Ocean, in a Coral Reef)
"Science Stories: Science Methods for Elementary and Middle School Teachers"(Seashells by the Seashore, 2002)


I’ll be in touch after the conference and let you know how it all went. The theme is “The Spirit of Play.” Should be fun!
