Disciplina con amor en el aula Tocando el corazón de tus alumnos. Guía para maestros Rosa Barocio

What happened to students who used to respect and admire their teachers? What does it mean to be a good teacher? Do they come prepared every day? Are they popular with the students? Being a good teacher has never been easy, but in this day and age, teaching has become an even greater challenge. Anyone can stand in front of a group of students and call themselves a teacher, but only a handful merit the name. To be a teacher in its entirety is a privilege that you earn through assisting your students' growth while helping them apply themselves. Our society urges teachers to be flexible, open, and interested in a world with rapidly changing technology and how it is applied in the classroom. Rosa Barocio, with practical advice and a sense of humor, dedicates this book to teachers invested in revamping their teaching styles and not settling to be a great teacher, but an extraordinary one. They understand the responsibility they hold and that since their students look up to them, it’s their job to inspire them.

Healthy Me Fun Ways to Develop Good Health and Safety Habits Michelle O'BrienPalmer

This handson science activity book for children 5 to 8 promotes health and safety through 70plus creative projects, recipes, and experiments.

They rush to brush after watching the effects of sugary drinks on a tooth. Nutrition and exercise are fun with treats like TripleDecker Mouthfuls and games such as Exercise Bingo. Lego people and Silly Putty help to demonstrate the importance of seat belts and bike helmets, and safety becomes a priority as children chant important numbers, identify exits in buildings, and more. All the activities are tested in homes and classrooms to be sure they are safe, effective, and fun.

Picture book that introduces children to a wide variety of character traits, including some not usually attributed to young children. Every element of each page—text, illustration, color and type face—contributes to the situation being depicted. Author Steve Metzger's carefully crafted text is sensitive and free of bias and slang. Together with Janan Cain's sometimes zany characters, The Way I Act shows scenarios that kids can identify with—peering at bugs with a magnifying glass, making a bed, finishing a puzzle, sweeping up a mess. The text cites even more examples that define words such as curious, responsible, persistent and capable. The scenarios on each twopage spread let kids imagine how they might act on a curlicue slide, when meeting new children, when an elderly grandparent needs help.
