(06/13/09) MacBeth So often, the settings and the language of Shakespeares plays are confusing and intimidating to todays students, leading to a less than successful initial encounter with the great playwrights work. Shakespeare 4 Kidz slightly alters some of the language in the plays into contemporary conversational English. As well, they make certain, well chosen edits to keep things moving the major speeches, however, are included intact in their original glorious language. Lastly, Shakespeare 4 Kidz add some very contemporary, memorable music to the mix, driving home the key messages in the plays. The result is Shakespeare that is clear, inviting and entertaining to todays young audiences, while still remaining very true to its original form. Video ClipSee less

(01/09/08) 2 Part Story Flipchart Trigger Memory & Regular Flashcards (multiplication & division) Mix & Match Game Easy Instruction Manual Memory Story Discussion Guide 2 Multiplication Practice Test 2 Division Practice Test 2 Multiplication Test Challenges 2 Division Test Challenge Question: What are "mnemonics? Answer: Mnemonic systems of memorization have been around for many years. In fact, it is commonly used today to aid medical students in the memorization of difficult technical terms. Mnemonics is a technique which helps the mind to remember. Question: How does your system work? Answer: Times Tales works by turning an abstract multiplication problem into easily remembered stories that the child can relate to. Numbers become consistent, familiar characters that come together in different combinations, each time with the multiplication fact hidden in the story.

(11/25/07) Product Description Trivium Pursuit is pleased to announce the release of their second book in the Illustrated Psalms series, children's picture book Bless the Lord: The 103th Psalm by Johannah Bluedorn. Thirty original paintings create stunning, colorful windows on every line of the Psalm, which begins "Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name." In Johannah Bluedorn's very own detailed style, each verse of the Psalm is illustrated with a portrait of sumptuous simplicity: farm and wild animals celebrate the bounty of nature; the beauty of family; the blessedness of God's provision; and the benefits of His protecting hand. This children's picture book makes the King James Version of Psalm 103 accessible to even the very young. Full color. Size: 8 1/2 X 11.See less

(11/25/07) 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: The Lord Builds the House Celebrates God's Loving Kindness to Creation!, September 12, 2005 The Lord Builds the House: The 127th Psalm Bless the Lord: The 103rd Psalm and The Lord Builds the House: The 127th Psalm both richly illustrated by Johannah Bluedorn have become a regular part of our bedtime reading routine. With several children snuggled next to me I read these Psalms as they enjoyed the inspired watercolor and ink artworks that celebrate God's creation. Miss Bluedorn used vibrant colors to illustrate both texts of these beloved Psalms from the King James translation of the Bible. Each page is a visual feast for the eyes. There is so much intricate detail on each page that we find something new each time. I confess I didn't see the angels in Bless the Lord until my 3rd reading. My four-year-old daughter has been so taken in by the beauty of the artwork and the poetry of the psalm that she often spontaneously echoes me as I say...See less

(11/18/07) I am a homeschool mom who is not gifted with artistic abilities. I have the Artistic Pursuits book one, two and three. My kids and I LOVE them. Very easy to use and follow. The layout is easy to adapt to your needs and schedule. It took me most of two years to get through book one and two because I only did art once a week. In the front pages of the book is listed all the art supplies you will need for that book or you can buy the art kit with each book. I buy one art book and two art kits for my children. I have bought several other art books and found them good; but I need to do more planning ahead than I wanted to do. With this program,I can open the book that day and skim what is needed and BAM we are ready to go! Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)See less

(11/18/07) Chicago Metro AEYC Connections Earthways is a treasure trove of developmentally-appropriate, imaginative activities in science, nature and art designed to empower young children to feel a joyous kinship with nature.

(11/18/07) From Publishers Weekly Who better than a nice Jewish girl to tell Catholics how to celebrate their faith at home? Jews have always been known for a sensibly domestic-centered observance of their religion, and Gould, a Jewish-born convert to Catholicism, speaks from a unique dual perspective. Having lived in a Jewish home, she knows about lighting Sabbath candles, but also remembers when Catholics kept holy water and statues in their houses. In her own home, which she affectionately describes as "the Hermitage" and "Julian of Norwich goes suburban," she has revived traditions that fell by the wayside after changes wrought by Vatican II, and also established a multitude of new ones. Readers seeking to reinforce Catholic identity on the home front will find plenty of ideas, among them a how-to for celebrating Christmas when it actually arrives, instead of weeks before, and making Halloween holy by embracing it as the eve of All Saints Day. Gould's writing is light and airy, even...See less

(11/12/07) Both the text and the illustrations of this joyful new picture book are breathtaking and poetic, as they open our eyes to the beauty and wonder of God's creative action in creating the world. We've heard the story so many times that we need to be newly awakened to the amazing events of the Bible. This book does just that, for children as well as adults, by retelling the story of Creation. And it's no dumbed-down children's version. Just listen to this selection: "What God did was see something in his imagination, and speak it, and it became real. God flung both arms wide and embraced deep space, then bend and squeezed it, twisting it and pulling it like dough, then flinging it wide in great spirals of energy. It surged out hugely, flashing, exploding into the dark with a thunderous blast - universes, galaxies, nebulae. It was so hot God had to blow on it to cool it as it spun away." This book is one that brings so much freshness to the understanding of God's awesome power and joy that...See less
