Math, science, living math, average, means

It is a good realistic book for children to read because the process of accepting a new teacher shows the kids the attitude of embracing new people in their life. It teaches the readers about love and the consequence if people are willing to communicate and give up the bias.

Awesome. I wish I were a bit younger and slim so these styles would be appropriate for me. I probably could get away with the caftan and nightgown even now. It's so neat how one could make clothes exactly suited to one's individual size and taste, so easily.

Though no prior knowledge, or a machine, is at all necessary, if one has had a sewing unit in middle school or watched Grandma sew, one will be even more able to make use of this book. And unlike many modern crafting books, this one really is aimed at helping the reader save money. These are honestly wearable clothes that can be made with bargain rack fabrics, not artsy-fartsy projects.

Highly recommended to all do-it-yourself-ers with energy and time, especially the plethora of under-employed we have right now in the US.

shows an African American boy going to school and sees people of different races.

talks about a boys first day of school and how he doesn't like it then goes back and turns out he does.

This book uses a fictional story to introduce the math concept of means and averages. It would be a good book to read to a class when talking about means and averages. The authors are qualified to write this book because one is a math major and the other is an English major. The fictionalized story, which is used to talk about and solve mean/average problems, makes this book interesting because it is not written as an ordinary How To Math book. This book has no bibliography.

This is a really great book for holiday ideas. There are the usual American holidays, but also some really interesting ones that would be easy to celebrate. On November 3 try National Sandwich Week. A nobrainer. October 24 is UN day. Make your guest list international. Who would have thought October 16 is Dictionary Day.There is even International Lefthanders Day on August 13.The first Sunday after Labor Day is National Grandparents Day.

A basic book on speaking and writing in code.
