Making Meaningful Connections With Steam For Elementary Aged Students In China, Francis Stonier
Making Meaningful Connections With Steam For Elementary Aged Students In China, Francis Stonier
The STEAM Journal
This program included a summer STEAM experience for over 130 Chinese elementary aged children. During the week they constructed and tested an egg drop package, explored the local natural history museum, learned about animal footprints and the habitats they live in, dug up dinosaur fossils, and launched rockets. For many, this was their one of their first formal experiences with STEAM activities. The experiences provided a positive introduction or continued support for STEAM at the primary level.

What I Like Most, Jennifer Pagett
Children's Book and Media Review
A girl takes stock of all the things that bring her happiness. There’s the window through which she sees the mailman, children at play, and trees that will elongate as time passes. There’s her grandmother’s sweet apricot jam, spread across her toast and eaten with delight. There’s the river that flows gently and houses ducks and fish. There’s also the special book with a girl who looks like her on it, and the teddy bear she’s had since she a baby. All these things will change over time. They’ll get used up, or simply wear out. Some, like the river, …
Thundercluck!:Chicken Of Thor, Amanda Morgan
Thundercluck!:Chicken Of Thor, Amanda Morgan
Children's Book and Media Review
This hilarious book is incredibly entertaining, packed full of action and page-turning cliff-hangers. Nearly every page has a well-written pun or a joke, but the ridiculousness of the story is handled with great skill, allowing for moments of seriousness. The larger text, short paragraphs, and frequent pictures make it great for children just getting started with chapter books. While there is action and conflict, actual violence is avoided or not described. With stakes that remain high enough to keep the reader enthralled to the end, the storyline and content should prove enjoyable for all ages.

In the distant land of Australia, an acacia seed is transported by a team of ants and buried deep beneath the soil where no sunlight can possibly extend its rays. A wildfire soon ravages the nearby acacia groves, enabling the seed to surface and at last receive the …
Thundercluck! 2 Recipe For Revenge, Amanda Morgan
Thundercluck! 2 Recipe For Revenge, Amanda Morgan
Children's Book and Media Review
Like the first Thundercluck book, this is a wild ride of adventure and humor. Not quite as engaging as the first because the conflict feels a bit drawn out, it does, however, teach wonderful lessons about not giving up on friends. Suited for readers ages eight through twelve, it is a good book for children needing a chapter book with large text, small paragraphs, and illustrations scattered throughout. While the peril faced is relatively mild, the story remains thrilling and should capture the attention of a range of readers looking for adventure novels.

Gargantis Legends Of Eerie-On-Sea, Jazmin Gomez
Children's Book and Media Review
Readers who enjoyed the first book in the Legends of Eerie-on-Sea series, Malamander, will be excited to return to this world.
