Carole P. Roman used to teach, before her business sense kicked in and inspired her to start a family business with her husband. After doing that successfully for many years, she decided to give authoring a book a try too! Good thing she did–this month’s book is fourth in the series she started, and she’s got even more wonderful stories planned.
The 2013 “Stars Under the Stars” outdoor movie series in Sundance Square will return this summer beginning June 6th. Sundance Square will kick off this series with the showing of BRAVE, the 2012 computer animated fantasy comedy. Additional movies include Big Miracle (June 13), Despicable Me (June 20) and We Bought A Zoo (June 27).

Patricia Polacco was born in Lansing, Michigan, and lived a long time both there and in Oakland, California. Even now the most influential presences in her life have been that of her grandparents—and she pays tribute to that by including a strong bond between a child and an elderly person in each of her children’s books.
I had some trouble finding a book this month, and would never have found this wonderful one if not for my mom, to whom I’m extremely grateful. It has a great story and message, and the art’s not too bad either!
Mr. Lincoln is the best principal ever, without a doubt. No strictness and off-putting attitude from him—he interacts with all of his students, from kindergarten up to sixth grade. Everyone gets his time of day, and even his time after the day is done. The teachers like him; the parents really like him; and the kids adore him.

Before you get your kids involved in ice hockey or any other kind of activity, you need to ask yourself, is your child ready to enroll in a sports class? Ask yourself these questions first…

Spelling practice is getting harder and harder as spring has sprung, yet the grind of school continues. The request to taking time to practice spelling words is being answered with whines and complaints. That is why I am so excited about today’s tutorial on how to make DIY Letter Puppets. Kids Activities Blog knows if you can make spelling practice fun, it will happen!
Making the letter puppets is the first part of the adventure. I enlisted the help of my 7 year old who was excited to participate once he saw paint and googly eyes were involved.
