By Carolyn Pinkard, Sally Axelrod
In the spring of the year 2001, Ben and Carrie Pinkard, aged six and eight, asked their grandmother to help them write poems. Her reply was a resounding, "Yes." What happened when this trio met on Wednesday afternoons for five consecutive months to explore and make poems makes up the content of this book. At each meeting poems were read a loud (as all poems should be); the children were guided into activities intended to sharpen their powers of observation and stir their imagination; poems were then created by the children. This book contains 74 poems, approximately half written by each child. It is unique in presenting many poems written by a single child poet. The reader will find short poems, long ones, philosophical poems, descriptive poems, humorous poems, and ones that reveal how deep the heart and how keen the mind of children can be. These poems make a potent argument for making an honored place for reading and writing poems in elementary schools.

By William Bailey
A must read for teachers of mathematics! The perrennial question, "When will I ever use this stuff," prompts a parent to look deeply into his son's math program. In his search for the scope and meaning of "stuff," he finds that the subject of math is totally unlike any other high school subject. Also apparent is that promoted reforms whether politically motivated, profit driven, or theoretically rooted in educational psychology, good or bad, generally have a poor long term success rate. The semi-fictional, often-humorous style of "Math Stuff" provides a multi-dimensional view of the diverse elements of reform that, to be effective, must be jointly addressed. Taking a cue from a good math teacher, the book does not give the answers but rather suggests what to think about while determining them.

"The transition from elementary to middle school can be a scary time for both students and their parents. Dr. Parks's book is real-life advice from a master teacher that will address most of your concerns." Tommy Hurt
Principal,Georgetown Middle School. Georgetown, KY "An excellent handbook which parents of every new middle schooler should read, and reread with their son or daughter as they begin these formative and impressionable years of middle school. Herein are the keys to success."Dr. Dallas Blankenship
Superintendent,Scott Co. Public Schools Parents are seldom-if ever-prepared for the enormous changes their child faces entering middle school. The sheltered, structured, and nurturing environment that is elementary school gives way to the fast-paced, organized chaos of middle school. Students often feel more thrown into, rather than eased into, the middle school world, and parents of first-time middle schoolers often feel more lost than their children. The sixth grade is the time when Mom and Dad start to feel they are losing their little one forever, and-in a very real sense-they are. Help! My Child is Starting Middle School! is merely an effort to help parents and their children get off to a successful start in middle school. Although primarily written for parents, portions of the book can be read and used by middle schoolers themselves. At the end of each chapter are presented numerous real-world middle school situations, which may very well occur. As these are read, parents should consider how they might address the situations, and then discuss with their child their thoughts, and how they might deal with alternatives. In discussing these together, both parent and middle schooler will be better prepared for what's coming in middle school.

It is time for change within our nation’s public school system. Many students in the United States are finding themselves far behind their counterparts in other places around the world due to their low reading and math skills. In Memo from: The Teacher, a retired public school educator shares her answers as to who is to blame for this pandemic and the ways that parents can become their children’s first advocates and teachers. Theresa Worthy taught at the middle and high school level and couples her personal experiences in the classroom with an in-depth exploration of the difficulties related to educating children and classroom discipline. Worthy emphasizes that the active participation of parents in the education of their children is vital and uses a letter or memo format to speak directly to parents. Also included are fictionalized letters from students to illustrate the level of awareness students bring to the classroom. Parents will learn the ins and outs of the “No Child Left Behind Act” and the reasons why children approach learning with different behaviors. For those parents who are passionate about the education of their children, Memo from: The Teacher provides an honest and informative perspective from inside the classroom.
