Figuring out how to teach a Shakespeare play can be an overwhelming event whether you have three students or thirty students. Catherine went from being a Shakespeare novice to being an established Shakespeare teacher by diving right in. Right away one of her frustrations was trying to determine which character had the most lines in each play. After counting the lines in each play, she has put together this wonderful resource. It gives you a synopsis for each play, videos to watch or to watch out for, and character-line charts to help you assign the parts when you read a play out loud. If you...

This is the first in our Horsey and Friends series. It is a travel book -- told from the perspective of our stuffed Horse: A look at Panama like you've never seen it before. (For some reason the pictures show up in the preview in color, but the book is currently in black and white...My apologies for any confusion.)

Bandit, our stuffed raccoon, tells the story of an exciting trip to Washington, D.C. Whether you are planning a trip to D.C. yourself, or just want to enjoy the trip through Bandit's eyes -- you will have fun with this unusual look at the country's capital. (For some reason the preview shows the inside pictures in color, but the book is currently in black and white. Sorry for any confusion.)

Now, in larger, easier to read print. The Lewis and Clark Expedition was filled with adventures and danger. Most of us know something of its travelers, almost all being familiar with Captain Meriwether Lewis, Captain William Clark, and Sacajawea. But one important member of the Expedition if often overlooked, Clark's slave York. This short story tells the tale of the Corps of Discovery from York's perspective. We join York as he shares the stories of his adventures with his grandchildren, in his cabin in Kentucky. While the setting is fictional, as well as the family he may or may not have...

I have been a Christian for many, many years, and have only occasionally heard the connection between Communion and Passover, and even less often the connection between Christ's death and Passover. This little study/booklet comes out of a desire to make those connections a little clearer for myself, and my own children. It includes the related scriptures, and two of my favorite "Easter" hymns that celebrate the death and resurrection of Christ. I hope that it will bless you and your family as well.

Word searches, drawings, quotes, and more...all arranged in both a topical and chronological order to help introduce students to the amazing work of Leonardo da Vinci. This book is a great compliment to Da Vinci: His Life and His Legacy, but it is also a great stand-alone title. Each topic - Leonardo the Mathematician, Leonardo and the Horse, Leonardo the Architect, and many others - includes a historical context and ideas for hands-on study of that topic. The ideas in the book have been classroom tested and kid-approved (This book includes everything from Catherine's Da Vinci Unit Study, Da...

Catherine has been studying and teaching the Constitution for almost ten years. She understands the frustrations of trying to teach it but not knowing where to start. Out of her own studies came a deeper understanding of the importance, then and now, of this critical document. That led to a deep desire to share the Constitution with her own students and to help others do the same. Here she brings it to life in its historic context, along with many of the other documents that paved the way for the foundation of our government.

Panama has always been the land bridge between North and South America. In 1914 with the completion of the Panama Canal it also became the water bridge between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. And it was to the Canal Zone that John McGrew, Sr. (hereafter referred to as Dad to avoid confusion) was sent in the 1950's and again in the 1960's. During his first tour of duty there, his first child, Cathy, was born. During his second tour, his fourth child, John, Jr. was born. Fast forward half a century and the McGrews begin planning a return trip to the place of Cathy and John's birth, and of many...

Between Dee and Cathy they have 14 children -- and they have traveled throughout the country (and in various parts of the world) with their respective families, logging hundreds of thousands of miles.
