Excerpt: Mast Landing School -Harraseeket Program, named after the Harraseeket River in Freeport, has the philosophy "that children benefit from the support of family-like groupings of peers and teachers" as well as helping students see themselves as lifelong learners, helping them organize their schoolwork, and gain self-confidence to share in a group setting. Harraseeket does this by keeping students with the same group of peers and, for most classes, the same teacher. On top of the other subjects, teachers also teach study skills, reinforced by nightly homework. Harraseeket also holds Assemblies every other week and classrooms take turns presenting what they have learned. Soule Program, named after the George E. Soule Elementary School, an alternative elementary school located in South Freeport, Maine before Mast Landing was built. Soule has the philosophy that "children feel safe and learn best in a small, family-like atmosphere", and that "all students can learn and meet academic standards". To meet this philosophy, teachers meet regularly with students to maintain the students progress in school. Teachers also design their instruction to meet the needs of individual students. Unlike Harraseeket, students in Soule have different teachers throughout the day, with some change in classmates, in order to ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=25331544 ... Read more

A girl finds her way in Maine
"One Morning in Maine" is the sweet story of a girl with a loose tooth and her morning adventures in a coastal town in Maine.She wants to share the news of her loose tooth with everyone - the loon on the lake, the hawk in his next, and the seal at the water's edge.

She realizes she is becoming a big girl with this loose tooth, but most of all, she has lots of questions about animals with teeth.Something happens to the tooth, but she acts brave, especially now that she knows losing a tooth is a sign of being a big girl.

When she helps her sister, accompanies her father, and chats with the men in town, she is sure of her grown up status and even consoles her sister at the end with the idea of clam chowder for lunch.

A Perfect Book
My 4 year old son really loves this book, and truly I do too. It's long and so sometimes when he picks it off the shelf for me to read to him I think "oh boy" but I am never sorry that we read it.It's graceful, simple, beautiful.The story is simple and yet it feels meaningful.And it evokes the Maine coast like many of McCloskey's books in such real terms that you can almost taste the salt water.Highly recommended.

Wonderful story!
This is one of my three year old son's favorite stories and I love it too! This story is not action packed but instead takes a stroll through a little girls morning.

A Time of Innocence and Wonder
This book, along with Robert McCloskey's other books, were some of my childhood favorites. This one is a companion piece for Blueberries for Sal. It is a book filled with the wonder and innocence of childhood. It is also beautifully illustrated.

It paints a lovely picture of the beautiful state of Maine. It also paints a picture of a simpler time when worries seemed far away. Sal is the quintessential girl who is going through the rite of passage through childhood. There is a delightful scene when she loses one of her teeth while mucking for clams.

This book can be easily read by young children, though I loved it when my mother read it to me before I could read. I have such a warm memory of those days when my mom was such a nurturing presence in my life. Perhaps you will be able to create such a memory for your own child.

Product Description
Many pupils experience difficulty in controlling their strong feelings and in managing conflict in both school and home settings. These two programmes (for different age groups) aim to help children and young people: * Avoid or manage situations of conflict * Understand that they can create change * Realise that it is possible to resolve difficulties.In this thoughtful approach to anger management, the authors suggest a teaching and learning model and use 'story' as the focus of pupil engagement. During the 10-session programme, participants will: * Understand the causes of anger in a variety of situations * Learn about physiological and behavioural aspects of anger * Rehearse coping strategies * Plan positive responses to provocative situations. Controlling Anger: A solution-focused approach for children provides eight stories to help pupils develop emotional literacy. The topics of the stories include fighting with friends, bullying, swearing humiliation and exclusion. The stories also reinforce some of the key themes and concepts introduced via the Primary National Strategy's SEAL Curriculum. ... Read more
