Miss Flint Books
The Meanest Teacher in The World and
Miss Flint Meets The Great Kweskin
By Don Sawyer
Teachers, have you and your students always wanted to be in the movies?
Here's your big chance! Chestnut Publishing is challenging classes using the Miss Flint stories to dramatize one or more of the stories, videotape the final production, and submit it to the publisher. Each year, the best submissions will be chosen for distribution through Chestnut's catalogue, web site, and school sales agents. 25% of the proceeds from the sale of the videos/DVDs will go to the school producing the episode. more...
On This Day in Canadian History:
by Melanie Jackson and Brian Weigel
Put your students right in the middle of an historic event. These newspapers are the first two in a series that give the feel and the excitement of living through the time being taught. They cover not only the event, but also what else was happening that day – the business and fashions, the sports, the entertainment, etc. The ads and the stories are real, but presented in modern design. That’s all that’s different – otherwise the papers tell it like it was. The teacher guides, included with each package of 30 copies, contain blackline masters, pages for students to create posters or fashions and even to write their own stories. more...
Daredevils- by Joy Lynn Goddard
Daredevils is a young adult novel with themes and language suited for students in junior or intermediate grades. In junior classrooms it can be used with strong readers who need enrichment materials. In intermediate classrooms it can be used with average readers as well as reluctant readers who are at risk of failing to meet literacy standards. The accompanying Teacher's Guide, which targets Ontario Language Curriculum and Catholic Graduate Expectations, helps teachers reach most students in intermediate classrooms, thus eliminating the need to run several reading programs simultaneously. more...
Thanks for Chucking That at the Wall Instead of Me: Teaching At-Risk Children and Youth - by Monica Nawrocki
Let me tell you about Dale, a nine-year-old with poor impulse control. He loved ping pong, and it was a source of constant irritation to him that there were other students at the Centre because it meant he had to share the table, wait his turn and all those annoying things. We had been coaching Dale on his social skills and giving him specific ways to work on making friends. One day, I stopped Dale on his way out for break and reminded him to think about his actions and try to do something that might build a friendship that recess. I should have been more specific. more...
