Traveling in Time and Space is about love, the love Jesus has for us and our earth. He warns us by saying, It is serious, very serious. He is referring to the many problems facing our society and our earth today. He also predicts coming disasters unless we change direction soon. He predicted the September 11, 2001 bombing of the World Trade Centers, he predicts more attacks and even more serious problems. He takes us on a journey through the universe to show us other lives and worlds. We visit a possible future earth and a possible dead one, we visit angels and descendents, we visit societies wildly dissimilar and amazingly alike, and we visit with the spirit of Jesus Christ, the universal savior. Traveling in Time and Space is a learning process for the author as well as the reader. This book belongs to Jesus. He speaks to each and every one of us. It is up to us to listen.

In light of the mandate by many states to adopt the national Common Core Standards, many teachers are looking to find new instructional methods in order to best achieve the high expectations set by these standards. As we delved into the Common Core Standards we began to explore different ways we could set up and present our math curriculum in the classroom setting. Through trial and error we came up with the mini-lesson followed by independent activity format in which the teacher is able to conference with students individually as well as in small groups. The Math GNOMe and Common Core Four are a UPK through sixth grade program that provides a systematic way of setting up the Math Block in a classroom in which every aspect of the instruction and student activity are geared towards specific areas of the Common Core. The Math GNOMe provides a series of mini-lessons that relate directly to the Common Core Standards while the Common Core Four are four independent activities that students participate in on a consistent basis in order to work towards mastery and a deep understanding of the learning standards. By organizing our classrooms in this manner we are better able to meet the needs of our students while ensuring that we are teaching to the content and practice demanded by the Common Core standards. The students are well aware of the high expectations placed on them and work every day towards mastery of the specific skills expected at their grade-level. We have found dramatic increases in student academic achievement when presenting our math curriculum and the Common Core Standards in this manner. The amount of student learning taking place is astounding.

Tucked away in the corner of a busy allotment, stands Mr. Brownlow's shed. A more sorrowful sight would be hard to find, but it serves very well for storing all the tools needed to keep the allotment tidy and free of weeds. After all, isn't a shed just a shed? At the time of day when the allotment keeper becomes but a shadow in the distance, and the light grows dim, a wonderful thing happens. Hose, Broom, Rake and Spade, along with the rest of the tools in the shed, suddenly spring to life in this delightful children's adventure. Sadly, one day their home collapses about them. Leave it to Watering Can and General Twine to lead all their friends on a journey to find a new home. Along the way, they meet many new friends and share adventures, sometimes with sadness, but mostly with happiness and laughter. Author Diane Taylor began creating stories when her children were young. She grew up in an era when most people had allotments and gardens. Watching her grandchildren working in the garden, gave her the inspiration for The Allotment Shed. She lives in Stalham, on the rugged North Norfolk coastline of England.

World War II: From the Rise of the Nazi Party to the Dropping of the Atomic Bomb

Why did the world find itself immersed in another global conflict only two decades after World War I? World War II: From the Rise of the Nazi Party to the Dropping of the Atomic Bomb introduces kids ages 12 to 15 to the political, military, and cultural forces that shook the globe from 1939 to 1945 and beyond. Germany suffered terribly after World War I, due to the harsh repercussions imposed on the country with the 1919 Treaty of Versailles. Hitler and the Nazi party, with their extremist views on racial superiority and their eagerness to erase certain ethnicities and cultures through systemic murder, found a country ready to rise up and conquer weaker nations. Totalitarianism wasn’t limited to Germany, however. The Axis countries of Italy and Japan also saw opportunities to overcome surrounding nations. The early events of the 1940s convinced the Allied countries of France, Britain, Russia, and the United States to join forces against the aggressor nations. World War II invites middle school students to examine the events leading up to, during, and after WWII and the repercussions of these events on populations around the world. Readers learn about Germany's invasion of Poland and the resulting domino fall of events that engaged several countries and eventually caused the deaths of 60 million people, including 40 million civilians. They also see how the dark side of Hitler’s ideology was always present, eventually resulting in the Holocaust, the systematic murder of 11 million people, including 6 million Jews and other populations. Through primary sources, essential questions, and engaging text, readers gain a comprehensive understanding of the politics, the economics, the strategy, and the human experience of this global conflict. They also work to find comparisons and parallels between the world as it was before and during WWII and as it is now. Investigative activities, including deconstructing patriotic songs of the era and examining maps of Europe, Asia, and Africa during different time periods serve as jumping-off points for further critical thinking and explorative inquiry as kids delve into the legacy of World War II. What did the world learn from World War II? Could World War II ever happen again? World War II is one book in a set of four that explore great events of the twentieth century. Inquire and Investigate titles in this set include The Vietnam War; World War II: From the Rise of the Nazi Party to the Dropping of the Atomic Bomb; Globalization: Why We Care About Faraway Events; and The Space Race: How the Cold War Put Humans on the Moon.Nomad Press books in the Inquire & Investigate series integrate content with participation, encouraging older readers to engage in student-directed learning as opposed to teacher-guided instruction. This student-centered approach provides readers with the tools they need to become inquiry-based learners. Common Core State Standards, the Next Generation Science Standards, and STEM Education all place project-based learning as key building blocks in education. Combining content with inquiry-based projects stimulates learning and makes it active and alive. Consistent with our other series, all of the activities in the books in the Inquire & Investigate series are hands-on, challenging readers to develop and test their own hypotheses, ask their own questions, and formulate their own solutions. In the process, readers learn how to analyze, evaluate, and present the data they collect. As informational texts our books provide key ideas and details from which readers can work out their own inferences. Nomad’s unique approach simultaneously grounds kids in factual knowledge while allowing them the space to be curious, creative, and critical thinkers. Soon they’ll be thinking like scientists by questioning things around them and considering new approaches
