A hilarious, yet tender and sincere picture book about making
mistakes, owning up to them, and asking forgiveness. Every party
has a pooper. You may not have wanted one. You certainly did not
invite one. But, inevitably, every party will have one. So what
should you do? Maybe you can interest the pooper in a game?
Hopefully the pooper doesn't lay down in defeat in the middle of
your Twister mat... oh, there he goes. Directly on the blue dot you
needed. Perhaps you can entice the pooper with a delicious,
scrumptious cake? Unless the pooper sticks his booger-y fingers
directly into the layer you were most excited to eat... sigh. Oh, I
know what to do! Let's. Party. HARDER. Until... things get taken
too far. Then it might be time to take a step back and do the
hardest thing of all: apologize. In Party Pooper, Jennifer Gray
Olson tackles complex SEL themes with expertise, grace, and
laugh-out-loud humor. It's a thoughtful, yet entertaining
examination that has equal empathy for the party goers and, of
course, the party pooper.

This little story sparkles with magic and fun. It starts on Hallowe’en
when friends Jessie and Ali find something very unexpected in their
treat bucket – a little kitten. What’s even more surprising, the kitten
is magic and can talk. They take the perfectly named Magicat home and
all sorts of adventures follow – sheds are turned into treehouses,
pancakes are cooked (almost) and the bully next door is put in his
place. It’s all made even more exciting because Magicat isn’t quite as
expert at the magic thing as he’d have you believe and some of the
spells go delightfully wrong. Purrfect for newly confident readers as
well as for those who are reluctant or dyslexic. Let’s hope there are
more adventures to come for Magicat and his friends.
Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant or dyslexic readers
aged 8+

Underserved Populations in Science Education: Enhancement Through
Learning Community Participation A positive relationship between
college anatomy students' achievement and academic language
proficiency in the context of a learning community was studied. For
many students the barrier to learning science is language. It was
determined that a relationship exists between low academic language
proficiency and lack of success among students, in particular
failure among at-risk minority and language- minority students. The
study involved students of Anatomy classes at a community college
in Central California having a high percentage of culturally and
linguistically diverse students. Students from each semester
participated in the academic language proficiency and science
achievement studies. A number of students enrolled in a Learning
Community (LC) that included instruction in academic language in
the context of the anatomy course content. Other students also
participated in Peer-led Support (PLS) sessions. Several
participated in a textbook use study and in a Cooperative-Learning
(CL) study.

In Culinary Diplomacy's Role in the Immigrant Experience: Fiction
and Memoirs of Middle Eastern Women, the emergent field of literary
food studies engages with international diplomacy studies to
establish books with recipes as tools of culinary diplomacy.
Foundational to the argument is culinary diplomacy scholar Sam
Chapple-Sokol's concept of Citizen Culinary Diplomacy which
endorses public events that promote understanding of cultures and
people. However, this study challenges that definition and argues
that culinary fiction and memoirs are shared interactive
experiences between the author, the readers, and the culture
written about. Foundational to the study are twentieth century
postcolonial literary theories of Homi Bhabha and Edouard Glissant
and twenty-first century transnational theory of sociologists
Julian Go and Ulrich Beck to recognize culinary diplomacy's vital
role in international affairs. Culinary Diplomacy's Role in the
Immigrant Experience examines food as metaphorical expression in
literature, and the impact of time, space, and place in developing
diplomatic relationships between East and West in books by Diana
Abu-Jaber, Donia Bijan, Joanne Harris, and Marsha Mehran.
