When North American kids picture a school, odds are they see rows
of desks, stacks of textbooks, and linoleum hallways. They probably
don't picture caves, boats, or train platforms -- but there are
schools in caves, and on boats and on train platforms. There are
green schools, mobile schools, and even treehouse schools. There's
a whole world of unusual schools out there But the most amazing
thing about these schools isn't their location or what they look
like. It's that they provide a place for students who face some of
the toughest environmental and cultural challenges, and live some
of the most unique lifestyles, to learn. Education is not readily
available for kids everywhere, and many communities are strapped
for the resources that would make it easier for kids to go to
school. In short, it's not always easy getting kids off to class --
but people around the world are finding creative ways to do it. In
Off to Class, readers will travel to India, Burkina Faso, and
Brazil; to Russia, China, Uganda, and a dozen other countries, to
visit some of these incredible schools, and, through personal
interviews conducted by author Susan Hughes, meet the students who
attend them too. And their stories aren't just inspiring; they'll
also get you to think about school and the world in a whole new
way.
This set of four single-subject kindergarten workbooks, developed
with education experts and curriculum-based, blends Hidden Pictures
(R) puzzles, humor, and skills practice to pave the way for school
success. Each book is individually focused on a single subject area
and is designed to help kindergarteners acquire essential skills
and lifelong learning confidence in a way that they'll enjoy.

writing high-frequency sight words, and reading comprehension. MATH
CONCEPTS has activities in identifying and writing numbers 0 to

AND REASONING includes exercises in logical reasoning and
problem-solving, visual discrimination, and creative thinking.
WRITING will help kids to learn to trace and write letters,
identify and write high-frequency sight words, and compose opinion
and narrative text.
Personal Hygiene? What's that Got to Do with Me? is a curriculum
developed for students with autism, Asperger's Syndrome, learning
and developmental disabilities, designed to help them understand
how others perceive their appearance and the social implications of
neglecting personal hygiene. Simple factual information is
accompanied by humorous cartoons that emphasize how others view
someone with poor hygiene. Step-by-step cartoons explain exactly
what the student needs to do to ensure good hygiene. Quizzes and
activity pages provide numerous opportunities for repetition and
reinforcement of the key points. There are also hands-on activities
to demonstrate why and how to perform various hygiene tasks.
Several social stories are also provided, along with a set of
worksheets that help students set up a daily schedule to allow time
for completing necessary hygiene tasks.
