Having good manners is a very good thing, and having excellent manners is even better. Use these funny little poems to help you remember to always use your very best manners. The main thing to remember about good manners is that you should never do anything to hurt yourself or others or to hurt the property of another; and if you do that, then the rest is simply window dressing. All that aside, it is time to bring civility back into our lives, and this begins with the children. Penelope Dyan gently reminds us with her fun drawings and poetry that there are some things we should not forget, even if they seem like pomp and circumstance. And if you can remember the little things, then the big things simply fall into place. Besides, good manners are fun, and your good manners make others feel good. Knowing how to set a table is not a necessity, but knowing which fork to use is a sign of good breeding; and there is a simple trick anyone can use to do that So why not have excellent manners? And then everyone will just feel absolutely excellent Penelope Dyan is the award winning writer, author of Surfer Girl, best teen book at both the 2008 New York Book Festival and the 2008 Hollywood Book festival, recognized by Girls Voices In Literature Database, Miami University Florida, and number five in the top ten Australian Pukeke Top ten list for early teens.

Grounded in research, this book offers a collection of stories, activities, and teaching techniques to empower children and teens to effectively handle bullying and conflicts, as well as avoid drug use and low self-esteem. Research clearly shows that our schools are often unhealthy social environments: 80 percent of middle school students report seeing arguments or fights every day at school. Almost three out of four (70 percent) of surveyed girls ages 8-17 report symptoms of low self-esteem. Even worse, most of these girls reported falling into patterns of dysfunctional behavior, such as bullying, disordered eating, or smoking or drinking when feeling badly. In this book, author Kevin Strauss has carefully laid out background information, traditional stories, and skill-building activities that will enable teachers to help their students master bullying and drug prevention, self-control, and conflict resolution, as well as establish healthy self-esteem and optimism. The "Story/Activity/Discussion" approach of this text makes the serious task of learning and practicing critical life skills fun for both teachers and students. This story-based approach also increases retention of building-block skills, especially for younger students. Includes over 80 traditional and adapted folk tales and stories from around the world Four annotated bibliographies that include fiction and nonfiction books on topics like bully prevention, drug abuse prevention, conflict resolution, and self-esteem Glossary listings are provided with stories containing unfamiliar words and difficult pronunciations

Health and Family Life Education is an exciting new course for Caribbean Secondary Schools. It addresses the needs of lower secondary students and teachers for a life-skills based course reflecting the CARICOM Regional Curriculum Framework document but also takes into account national syllabuses, such as those from Jamaica, Belize and Trinidad. Health and Family Life Education attempts to meet some of the challenges facing Caribbean societies today, including the HIV and AIDS epidemic, rising levels of violence, health and environmental problems. HIV in the Caribbean is increasing at a rate second only to sub-Saharan Africa and HFLE can be a major vehicle for preventive education in schools. Research has shown that life-skills education can positively affect behaviours such as high-risk sexual behaviours, drug abuse, anger and conflict management, and improve social responsibility and academic performance. It can increase awareness of the choices available and encourage responsible decision making. The course is interactive and participatory, using mini-stories, case studies and other stimulus material, discussion, personal reflection and other activities to build on students' own experience and encourage them to take an active role in their communities. It aims to build healthy attitudes, motivation, values and life skills as well as teaching information, to enable students to cope better with the complex world in which they will operate as adults.

This text offers a teacher and student-friendly collection of lessons and activities that help educators use picture books to engage younger students in meaningful social studies activities and bring this critical subject back in elementary schools. In order for today's children to succeed as adults, they need a solid foundation of life skills inculcated at a young age. Social studies is key to building this critical knowledge, yet less attention is being paid to social studies in elementary schools as this subject becomes more essential. The authors of this text have a solution: use picture books as dual-purpose texts that fulfill more than just language arts needs, and take the time dedicated to those lessons to simultaneously teach social studies. Each chapter of this text is organized around one of the National Council for the Social Studies' Ten Thematic Strands, covering diverse and engaging topics ranging from community and individuality to science and technology. This book serves as a vital resource for classroom teachers, methods professors, staff developers, and curriculum writers who prioritize keeping social studies a part of the elementary school curriculum. Includes excerpts of primary source materials for student activities Contains various photographs, illustrations, charts, and graphs throughout the text Extensive annotated bibliography of picture books for each chapter that includes a discussion question for each book Appendixes include invaluable planning templates, reproducible handouts, and other teacher resources

We live in a time where F-bombs are rampantly and publicly exploding around us without warning leaving in their aftermath young ears and old ears alike ringing from the shockwave of their barrage. We live in a time where, on television, English is rapidly being replaced by a new language called "Bleep " because, hardly a phrase is being spoken these days without the needed intervention of the censor. Do you feel that you went to bed one night and awoke to a world that had exchanged common courtesy for the shock value of indiscriminate foul language? What is worse, do you sometimes slip and blurt out language that you immediately regret and have to apologize for? If this behavior annoys or offends you, there is hope. Rodney and Eunice Adams' book, "Oooooooo, You Said A Bad Wooord-How A Group Of Young People Outgrew 'Adult Language'" lovingly and tactfully tells the story of a group of inquisitive fourth and fifth graders who address "bad words" head-on, debate what bad words are, why they are bad, and ultimately outgrow "adult language." Read this book with your children, discuss it with your friends, and together let's clean up our act, and make a better world by word of mouth.

A volume in Studies in the History of Education Series Editor Karen L. Riley, Auburn University at Montgomery This volume, The New Social Studies: People, Projects and Perspectives is not an attempt to be the comprehensive book on the era. Given the sheer number of projects that task would be impossible. However, the current lack of knowledge about the politics, people and projects of the NSS is unfortunate as it often appears that new scholars are reinventing the wheel due to their lack of knowledge about the history of the social studies field. The goal of this book then, is to sample the projects and individuals involved with the New Social Studies (NSS) in an attempt to provide an understanding of what came before and to suggest guidance to those concerned with social studies reform in the future-especially in light of the standardization of curriculum and assessment currently underway in many states. The authors who contributed to this project were recruited with several goals in mind including a broad range of ages, interests and experiences with the NSS from participants during the NSS era through new, young scholars who had never heard much about the NSS. As many of the authors remind us in their chapters, much has been written, of the failure of the NSS. However, in every chapter of this book, the authors also point out the remnants of the projects that remain.
