The Dear America section of our library now takes up 4 full shelves, and the books are regularly checked out every week. Here is the newest in the continuing series and it takes place in 1941 during World War II.<br />
<br />
In 1941 Piper is worried about her older brother based in Pearl Harbor on the Arizona, a battleship based there. As most students of history know, On December 7, 1941 the Japanese attacked the United States at Pearl Harbor in a surprise attack. Piper notes it in her diary along with what she hears on the radio. She has neighbors who are Japanese who are members of her church, and she and her family later follow them into the incarceration camps.<br />
<br />
I will be giving my mom a copy of this book to read because it is her life too! And I'm curious to compare her first hand experience (primary source) with this historical fiction piece.<br />
<br />
You see... my mom was 16 on Pearl Harbor Day in 1941 and she opened her present (a radio, an expensive gift in those days) plugged it in only to hear about the bombing. Many of her friends from high school were in the service, and some of her friends who were Japanese "disappeared" from school. She never knew what had happened to them until later as an adult, her family didn't speak about it at the time. They too were worried because my mom's brother was in the service and faced many dangers. He was in General Patton's army and never spoke of the war after he came home.<br />
<br />
It was an important time in history, and to know about it first hand is important. I'm interested to know if my mom feels the book reflects her life at that time, and how accurate the diary entries and events are compared to her personal experience.<br />
<br />
Let me know what you think of the book after you read it, and check to see if anyone in your family remembers about World War II and what their thoughts and memories are.<br />

If you are interested in weapons, fighting, and war, this is the "history text" for you, right here in our Media Center.<br />
<br />
The book has a full table of contents and index, not just for the book, but complete contents for each chapter so you can easily find the information you are most interested in. We'll be using this book to show examples of how using contents and indexes, and glossaries really help you get the most out of content reading, especially when researching for reports! There is also a glossary for the terms used throughout the book.<br />

The information is organized into tidbit paragraphs with stylized text and graphic boxing to offset and separate clusters of information, which makes the information so much easier to locate and read without pages of text you find in a regular textbook.<br />
<br />

It's another "text" for Bay Farm's Media Center Library collection that proves learning something new can be interesting and fun.<br />
<br />
It feels like you are on a private art gallery tour with a personal guide! There's even a website set up by Usborne to provide gallery links and art activities to accompany the book. Great idea for our Art Docent program as well as personal reading.<a href="http://www.usborne-quicklinks.com/"> http://www.usborne-quicklinks.com</a> Choose United States. Then type in the key words "famous paintings." You can tour any number of famous museums and art galleries.<br />

The famous painting "St. George and the Dragon" by Rafael has commentary that explains the technique of clustering major characters into a pyramid, how to create the feeling of distance, additional details that help to tell the story, symbolism used in art in the 16th century and how to add depth to a painting.<br />

"A Sunday on La Grande Jatte" was painted in 1884 by Georges Seurat. Seurat used color according ot the theories of the day in the 19th century. He used 35 million dots, dabs, and dashes of color in his painting because he believed the theory that color mixing actually happened in the eye itself and he wanted his painting color to be brighter and richer. The characters in his painting are staged much like a movie director would do when setting a movie scene. He also painted people from all walks of life to assure us of the "modern people" of the 19th century.<br />

A student falls victim to the "Math Curse" when her teacher says "You can think of almost everthing as a math problem."<br />
<br />
<br />

Here's a wild and crazy book that addresses math anxiety and numbers in every day life.<br />
<br />

<br />
The paintings, collage -like artwork, and stylized text add to the tempo and voice of the story and plotline, and help to build momentum as our child-narrator's anxiety and frustrations living with the math curse increases. So do the additions of math symbols, shapes, algorithms, designs, and calculations.<br />
<br />
It's a great read aloud and even better book for us to talk about together!<br />

This spiritual interpretation of the story of Harriet Tubman is in three narrative voices, the narrator (events), Harriet (her prayers and faith), and God (sending strength to continue on). <br />

Everyone at Bay Farm knows that my favorite section of the library is the Everybody section and this book is a beautiful example of why.<br />
<br />
One reading is not enough, multiple readings with discussion is essential. If you don't believe me....take a peak at a book trailer I created with Michael Jackson's "Will You Be There" as a musical accompaniment.<br />
<br />
But that's not the whole story....you have to read it to really know the beauty of this book with the haunting oil paintings of my newest favorite artist Kadir Nelson. He views his work in "Moses" as his most emotional work to date. Each page is a two-page illustration with close-ups for dramatic and emotional effect. The illustrations are dark and moody addressing the topic of running away, the journey at night and the desperation of the task. Kadir was concerned about darkness in a picture book, so he worked hard not to sugarcoat the experience but to also be mindful of the range of age of the reader. He won the Caldecott honor and the Coretta Scott King Illustrator award for this book for this book.<br />

This is a true story in American history; the story of Henry "Box" Brown, one of the underground Railway's most famous runaway slaves. This picture book biography tells the story of how Henry Brown became a free man, no one's slave and celebrated his "birthday" March 30, 1849, the day he became free. Although it's an E-Everybody book, it is a story for all ages.<br />

He used crosshatched pencil lines with layers of applied watercolor and oil paint to achieve the look and feel of a lithograph in his illustrations. He used cutaways to show the onboard ship travel while contained in a box.<br />

Kadir won the Caldecott Honor for his work in 2008. His illustrations are easily recognizable for their emotion, strength and dignity of spirit. Watch the trailer...then read the book!<br />

The subtle play on libraries, research, and reading make this book a great read-aloud when moving into research projects as a humorous "into" activity before discussing research techniques.<br />
<br />
The book won several awards including the 2004 McMillan Prize, and the Nestle's Bronze Medal. The artwork is multimedia mix, charcoal pencil, and textured pictures with generous sprinkles of wit added throughout.<br />
<br />
When Shel Silverstein's "Runny Babbit" hit our shelves a few years back, we couldn't keep it in the library. Upper grades just ate up that book! This is going to be one of those tales, that truly has to be read! Now that I have a document reader, when reading this book out loud, in order to share all the nuances I think the technology will make this book an even better experience when "performed" live.<br />

Inside you will learn all about the "missing children" from "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."<br />

We were so glad when the Klutz Book of Paper Airplanes was at the Fall Book Fair! Our copies of this book are so worn out from circulating we needed the replacement! (Multiple copies of course!)<br />

The only supplies necessary are 8 1/2 x 11 inch sheets of photocopy or printer paper.<br />
<br />
And while you're busy making "The Hammer," "The Professional," "The Space Cruiser," the "Hurricane," and others, you'll also learn about symmetry, wing angle, elevators, and ailerns, dihedrals, speed, thrust, and drag, angle, gliding, flight dynamics, and more.<br />

With the popularity of the Wimpy Kid Series, it was only a matter of time before Hollywood came knocking on Jeff Kinney's door. But the author had no clue about how a movie is made, and so he decided it would be fun to write about the new adventure as a companion to the series.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyqGjxlaPk5eINr0PfklE8phEtHE_Hfpzd3AVJwJbYyoTnBDegtSeSUgV2KcDi2YWpWPxYfksN5aQxEMTXDSUKfultQWA7ymQzUoOW8Yie5XPK_DQOzXiOHxR_fAcGc98HplQDcKhBad1n/s1600/photo2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyqGjxlaPk5eINr0PfklE8phEtHE_Hfpzd3AVJwJbYyoTnBDegtSeSUgV2KcDi2YWpWPxYfksN5aQxEMTXDSUKfultQWA7ymQzUoOW8Yie5XPK_DQOzXiOHxR_fAcGc98HplQDcKhBad1n/s200/photo2.jpg" width="200" /></a>Written in the now familiar format of the Wimpy Kid series, Jeff Kinney guides the reader through the movie-making experience including each major element along the way, starting with the evolution of Greg Heffley, the main character himself..."born" as a stick figure that would evolve and change many times before becoming the beloved figure we know today and was cast for a movie about him and the series.<br />
This book includes the familiar format with an important plus....color photos from within the movie-making process itself, so the reader can truly experience the creation of the movie from start to finish.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_n0-R4Xe0U2XAMxcLeyl5X3-GGbzEbAoTxn8oEdyaeHP8SXsfY6TBVHR6vH20eZ_qZ54ED1cXg2xLIoUSdHVa1moCIT_ELhfqFuqFClbu0iBqmNER6dACQ6N6pbMfc7NTMZS0JJw8LrCD/s1600/photo.jpg-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="125" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_n0-R4Xe0U2XAMxcLeyl5X3-GGbzEbAoTxn8oEdyaeHP8SXsfY6TBVHR6vH20eZ_qZ54ED1cXg2xLIoUSdHVa1moCIT_ELhfqFuqFClbu0iBqmNER6dACQ6N6pbMfc7NTMZS0JJw8LrCD/s200/photo.jpg-1.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>Chapters include the original doodlings that led to the series itself, sceenwriting, including how the script was "pitched" to the studio executives, casting process, location selection, storyboarding, the process of shooting, retakes, and out-takes of the movie, the role of the propmaster in film, and of course the unforeseen and spontaneous movie moments of moviemaking.<br />
<br />
Not only is Jeff Kinney a great writer for tweens, he communicates directly and clearly to them. Although the book is close to 200 pages, it is filled with visual photos and illustrative treats of book and movie realia that few of us on the outside of production rarely see, with text concise to clarify what the reader is seeing, making the complex process of writing a book, converting it for film, and the process of filming understandable to the tween population and any age reader. Entertaining and informative, with the familiar literary character of Wimpy Kid adds up to a great nonfiction read!<br />

I love this little interactive, 3-D Travel Book I found on one of the shelves of our fall bookfair at only $4.99! I see so many uses for this book in the classroom and Library Media Center! The photos are simple and iconic.<br />
<br />
Put on your 3-D glasses included in this book and take a quick journey around the world learning some trivia about amazing landmarks we all hope to be able to see sometime in our lives face to face!<br />

<i>Teacher Note:</i> The book is written for younger readers but I will use this book K-6 and believe the true power of the book is in the higher grades. There is just enough information and beautiful photographs to peak interest to pursue more information. Each student can pursue content knowledge that appeals to them, while learning access and internet skills I introduce to them... differentiated instructional lessons. Even my most reluctant readers will become involved with partners or small group investigations. I will use this book and several others in this blog as a "text" along with important WebTools that assist learners to locate, organize, and synthesize information using content selected to release motivation.<br />

Authentic projects researched, developed, and published by older students as a learning tool for younger students is a favorite learning process I use through my Library/Media Center program to maximize learning experiences.<br />
<br />
Watch for the project to appear on our Media Center webpages at some point. It will be an ongoing and constantly evolving project building collective intelligence as it grows. <br />

Set up as a Journal, this book has a page for every day of the year with writing prompts to keep you writing daily to improve your skills as a writer.<br />
<br />
A 21st century learner must to be able to speak and write clearly and precisely when using social networks like Twitter and Wallwisher with limited character allowances. <br />
<br />
I think that these writing prompts are so good many of them can be used individually as stand-alone projects and blogposts. I plan to use them on our website so students can submit their responses through the comment box mechanism on the page. We can then discuss and improve our writing skills together to make blog and web responses stronger. I would love to use this journal as a "textbook" resource support for my students.<br />
