For ESL English Language Learners "The story starts out simply enough: Jess Aarons wants to be the fastest boy in the fifth grade--he wants it so bad he can taste it. He's been practicing all summer, running in the fields around his farmhouse until he collapses in a sweat. Then a tomboy named Leslie Burke moves into the farmhouse next door and changes his life forever. Not only does Leslie not look or act like any girls Jess knows, but she also turns out to be the fastest runner in the fifth grade. After getting over the shock and humiliation of being beaten by a girl, Jess begins to think Leslie might be okay.
For ESL English Language Learners Christopher Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. He relates well to animals but has little understanding of human emotions. Although gifted with a superbly logical brain, at fifteen, Christopher's carefully constructed world falls apart when he finds his neighbor's dog, Wellington, impaled on a garden fork, and he is initially blamed for the killing. Christopher decides that he will track down the real killer and turns to his favorite fictional character, Sherlock Holmes, for inspiration. The investigation leads him down some unexpected paths and ultimately brings him face to face with a crisis within his own family. A novel that is deeply funny, poignant, and fascinating in its portrayal of a person whose curse and blessing is a mind that perceives the world literally.

The Fall of Rome - Ancient Rome for Kids Rome - Kingdom, Republic and Empire together - lasted about 1200 years. Rome ruled all around the Mediterranean and large sections of Europe and Southwest Asia. Yet in the end, the problems grew too great and the Western Roman Empire fell. Why did the empire fall apart? There is no one single reason, but was instead a series of problems that grew too large to solve. One problem was that the empire grew too large to govern. Another problem was that the Roman men no longer wanted to serve in the army. There were other problems. The Romans were aware of these problems and sometimes, under a good emperor, they would work on them for a while. The Eastern Roman empire continued another 1000 years. Vocabolario italiano illustrato 10 minute toilet roll shakers Last week my daughter came home from pre-school showing off a fancy toilet roll shaker she had made. She danced around the house shaking it with a huge smile on her face for quite a while. My youngest daughter goes to the same pre school but is in a different class and didn’t get to make a shaker, so quite understandably she was green with envy. Fights ensued and I’m sure you get the picture without further details. You will need • Toilet rolls (1 per shaker) • Duct or electrical tape • Milk bottle caps (2 per shaker) • Black marker • Dried beans, rice, coffee beans or similar to make the shaking sound • Paints if desired, although they aren’t really necessary How to You can use painted or plain toilet rolls. Stick a milk bottle cap on to the end of a toilet roll with electrical (or duct) tape. Fill your toilet roll with the dried beans (we used coffee beans and rice in ours). Tape another lid on to the other end of the toilet roll enclosing the beans. You’re done! Shake & dance!
42 Splendidly Creative Homemade Musical Instruments With the weather turning chilly, we are finding ourselves inside more often. More indoor play, reading, art, and far more crafting too. In fact, I am trying very hard to pick up knitting once again (and when I say once again, I mean from when I was about 8 years old). Our Quiet Bins are in full swing now, helping my little ones settle into peaceful days. The kids have also found themselves creating a lot more. With a looooonnnng winter ahead, I thought it would be a good idea to stock up on some ideas for homemade musical instruments. (May contain affiliate links – thank you for your support) Rhythmic Shaker – this was the activity that started the fascination with DIY musical instruments for my boys. Kalimba Musical Instrument by Herding Cats George – A paper plate (and we all know my love for a good paper plate craft!)

Kids can make a fantastic kitchen band of their own, or perhaps use them to ring in the New Year with style?
