While we are sure to spend time teaching grammar to our children, seldom do we show them grammar within the pages of stories they are reading. What better way to learn than by observing! For students who are not creative wordsmiths and who melt at the thought of writing a sentence, they can easily spot parts of speech on a page. Is it the critical thinking skills they are using? Yes! You can actually enjoy grammar through the Thanksgiving holiday using this activity with your children. Use This First Thanksgiving Day by Laura Krauss Melmed (reader not included in this file) for this grammar program. See for yourself how grammar does not have to be hard, it just needs to be the right tool for the right child!
Focus of this grammar activity- nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives

where owls live, owl feathers, camouflage, owl eyes, birds of prey, carnivores, Do and nbsp;You Remember?, owl coloring and amp; maze, the owl's beak, what an owl eats, digestion, pellets, various species, ears and amp; hearing, about intruders, and nbsp;and more.

Also included and nbsp;are owl and nbsp;lapbook folds and amp; flaps, fact cards, a lapbook cover page, and examples and nbsp;photos of a simple lapbook.

This last and final installment of the Remember Me Pockets is as wonderful as they have always been. This month long file is filled with specifically designed paper work for students who do not like traditional paper work. Fortunately For You Books offers alternative worksheets to help this holiday month be filled with learning but taking the stress out of the planned schedule. Just check the calendar to see what we are learning about that day!
Included in this file you will find some famous author's biographies (Emily Dickinson, Cornelia Funke, Rudyard Kipling) and honorable mentions (D'Lacey, Porter[Pollyanna], and Gruelle[Raggedy Ann]).
Our reporters give their last interviews of the year with people who should be remembered for their great contribution to our world or for helping us learn how poor decisions affect your life and others. Interviewed are:Marie Tussaud,
George Custer, Walt Disney, Mary Todd Lincoln, Beethoven, Ladybird Johnson, Louis Pasteur, and Tiger Woods. What a great group to have met and gleaned life's lessons from!
Monthly and week long activities are provided for National BINGO month (can we say YEAH!!)and Cookie Cutter Week.
History takes front and center place in our daily activites. National Remembrance of Pearl Harbor uses and internet based activity to learn about the timeframe of this horrific day. The loss of American lives leaves the learner with a love and respect for our military. and nbsp; The Boston Tea Party is an important subject covered this month. Students have no doubt heard about modern tea parties and it is important to give a clear understanding of where in history this has happened before. We provide you with a very good lesson for students who learn best with a quick summation and a visual connection.
And if that was not enough, The Lousiana Territory Purchase was finalized in December. We have used the AT YOUR SEAT format for this file. If you haven't tried this format yet, this is a good time to put it in the day's workboxes. We are pretty sure there will be a recollection of facts at the dinner table that night by using this style of worksheet.
Alabama and Texas became ratified states in December along with many others, but these popular lapbooks are included in the Remember Me December file. Others can be purchased separately to build your collection.
Shaking Up History is a fun way to acknowledge the many other recognitions that wouldn't fit into a month's lessons. Kids like this activity as it gives a quick overview of things that happened that month.
The holidays provide an abundance of activities. and nbsp; We start with Hanukkah and learn how this important Jewish holiday is celebrated. and nbsp; We also have a sweet little collection of Christmas files that are included. Puzzles, gift cards, and tic tac toe complete the month.
We hope you add this month's POCKETS to your collection and that your non classical learners have benefited from these pockets. We had a blast making them and we have learned so much ourselves.
Many blessings and Happy New Year!

**All the research necessary to understand our government and the presidential election process is available at your fingertips. You won and rsquo;t have to run around gathering information. We have it for you in one comprehensive EBook, We the People. We and rsquo;ve even designed a handy two page electoral map for your child to track the electoral votes on November 4 and color in the red and blue states.

and nbsp;

**An adorable activity book for your little ones, For the Wee People sets your children on the path to understanding the importance of our government and their role in it. This EBook and rsquo;s activities provide them the opportunity to be a part of this exciting election year.

**Our American Reflections provides notebooking pages in three formats: blank, primary, and intermediate. This EBook also includes important selections for discussion and copywork and two fun songs for your children to sing and gain further knowledge of the documents that govern our people.

**Any child studying our government must have the collection of vocabulary in We the People Speak. We have chosen the top 62 vocabulary words that we feel are necessary for fully understanding the democratic process. Also included are suggestions on how to build that vocabulary from a very early age as well as fun activities to reinforce use of the vocabulary words. This EBook is a great review for high school level students. Challenging vocabulary puzzles reinforce the vocabulary.

Take a look at our preview of 10 pages of just a few of the collections highlights. We have photos of finished products and wonderful graphics. For those of you wanting to conserve printer ink, the collection prints beautifully in grayscale as well as color on the draft setting. Print only what you need, but keep coming back to this timeless collection as your children grow in their understanding of American government.

and nbsp; and nbsp; and nbsp; This great kit provides a map that fits on the inside right and left sides of a file folder. It folds up into a handy little keeper. It also has pockets on the back flap to tuck those flashcards. If you use velcro strips, the pockets are raised for plenty of room for the flashcards.

and nbsp; and nbsp; and nbsp; To help reinforce your child and rsquo;s knowledge of the shape of the individual states, we and rsquo;ve provided you with a sheet of all the states with a United States flag background. Have your child cut them out and glue them on the back of their state cards.

and nbsp; and nbsp; and nbsp; Or, as another option, glue the state shapes on the back of the capital cards and put a question you create on the other side of the state cards. The state and capital cards are aligned so that you can print front and back on the same cardstock. Make sure you match up the right capitals. The possibilities are endless. And so is the fun!

and nbsp; and nbsp; and nbsp; Laminate the two halves of the United States map before your child glues them in their file folder and they can fill in the states with a dry erase marker and use the blank map again and again.

Thanks!

and nbsp; Special Note:

Each month, from August, 2009 through July, 2010, Teacher Book Bag will publish three Book Bags. They are:

Preschool through Kindergarten Book Bag

First through Third Book Bag

Fourth and Beyond Book Bag

All three monthly publications will have a general theme, but they will not overlap in activities.
Each one is distinct. You will not find a duplication of last year's Book Bags either.

We have made it possible for you to tailor your purchase according to your specific needs.

and middot; You may buy any of the Book Bags throughout the year individually for $2.49. At no time will the price be lowered. At the end of the school year, they will remain at the affordable price of $2.49.

and middot; You may want to buy all three of a particular month's Book Bag. We will have those available at $4.99 for the bundle. That's the same as buying two and getting the third free.

and middot; You may want to purchase a year's subscription to just one of the Monthly Book Bags. Those subscriptions are available for $19.99.

and middot; You may also choose to buy the entire set of all three for the full year for $39.99.

Again, these prices will not be discounted at any time in the future. We make that decision based on the responses from past customers.
