  • The Summer Reading Assignment Will Be Counted As Three Homework Grades (One Grade Per Book Read) and Will Be Due on August 23, 2019
    Assignment Share one of the following with your teacher: • SCCPSS Reading log (Use your own paper for the response if you need more space) • myOn on-line reading report – free online reading offered by Get Georgia Reading • Copy of completed Barnes & Noble reading log (3 titles required for SCCPSS credit) • Copy of completed Live Oaks “A Universe of Stories” Early Literacy or Kids & Teens Activity Log Summer Reading for students entering Kindergarten is recommended, but not required. No grades will be given to kindergarten students. Students entering 1st Grade through 5th Grade this fall should read 3 books that fall within their Lexile range, from 100 points below to 50 points above their Lexile score. The Lexile score is found on the MAP reports, which were sent home to parents. Students are strongly encouraged to read at least one piece of informational (non-fiction) text over the summer. Georgia standards place a strong emphasis on informational text as students are prepared for success in college and career reading. Note: If your child’s Lexile score exceeds that of the Grade Level Lexile Band, then he or she should read texts either within his or her Lexile range, or within the appropriate Grade Level Lexile Band as outlined here. A Lexile measure is a good starting point for selecting books but should never be the only factor. The Summer Reading Assignment will be counted as three homework grades (one grade per book read) and will be due on August 23, 2019. Some titles are suggested below, or students may visit www.lexile.com to find their own books in their Lexile range.

She has published eXtensively on Victorian Studies and Neo-Victorianism within the framework of Utopian Studies as well as on intercultural, visual and gender issues. Her most recent publications include Performing Identities and Utopias of Belonging (co-edited with Teresa Botelho, Newcastle upon Tyne: CSP, 2013) and Matrizes Culturais: Notas para um Estudo da Era Vitoriana (Lisboa: Edições Colibri, 2014). GAUDIUM SCIENDI, Número 8, Julho 2015 98 A NOT SO SECRET GARDEN: ENGLISH ROSES, Iolanda Ramos VICTORIAN AESTHETICISM AND THE MAKING OF Universidade Nova de SOCIAL IDENTITIES Lisboa his essay seeks to draw on theories of representation so as to link the multi- signifying dimension of the garden with the language of flowers as T conveying a social and moral code, acknowledged both in the Victorian age and today, and therefore ultimately aims to revisit the making of social identities. It begins by placing the English rose within the tradition of British national symbols and proceeds to highlight how floral symbolism was widely used in the arts, focusing on a selection of Pre- Raphaelite paintings in order to show how floral imagery both sustained and subverted stereotyped female roles. It goes on to argue that floral representations were used as a means for women to recognise their "natural" place in society.

    Date: October 10, 2008 Re: Phase I Research and Development Grant for 2008-2009 Authors: Casey Gallagher, BRAVE Coordinator Beth Brill, BRAVE Coordinator Title: Using Children’s Picture Books to Promote SEL Using Children’s Books in the Classroom in Order to Promote SEL Themes In order to promote the social and emotional well-being of all students, and to strengthen a sensitive and caring community of learners within our middle school, this research and development grant demonstrates how children’s picture books can be used to promote teaching tolerance and acting morally. Lesson plans for various children’s picture books address specific SEL themes such as developing empathy, appreciating diversity, working cooperatively with others, bystander responsibility, viewing situations through various perspectives, and avoiding stereotyping and prejudging others. The ten enclosed lesson plans address the following ELA Standards as well in the following areas: Standard 1 • Students will use knowledge generated from texts to discover relationships and interpret information. Standard 2 • Students will read and listen to develop an understanding of the diverse social and cultural dimensions the texts represent. Standard 3 • As speakers and writers, students will form a variety of perspectives, their opinions and judgments on experiences, ideas, information, and issues. Standard 4 • Students will use oral and written language for effective social communication to enrich their understanding of people and their views. Lastly, this grant offers a method to utilize the BRAVE Student Ambassadors as peer-instructors. All BRAVE Student Ambassador-led lessons could be adapted for elementary age students as well to be used during an elementary school visitation.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PENGUIN GROUP WORLDWIDE REPORTS RECORD SALES AND OPERATING PROFITS IN 2003 -- Underlying Profit Up 2 Percent; Underlying Revenue Up 2 Percent Versus a Year Ago -- New York, New York, March 1, 2004 …. Penguin Group worldwide today reported its operating results for the year ending December 31, 2003, with underlying operating profits up 2% and underlying revenues up 2% over the previous year. Penguin Group is part of Pearson (FTSE: PSON; NYSE: PSO), the international media company. This overall profit increase was once again driven by strong frontlist performance worldwide, improved operating efficiencies and increased investment in new authors, new books and new publishing programs. John Makinson, Chairman and CEO of Penguin Group, stated, “The Penguin Group achieved record sales and profits once again in 2003. Every one of our publishing businesses around the world contributed to this performance, which was achieved in very tight and competitive markets through the simple but challenging strategy of publishing the right books, and publishing them well.” David Shanks, CEO of Penguin Group (USA), said, “While we achieved all of our operating targets in 2003, we also continued to focus on our future growth opportunities with the very successful launch of two new imprints, Portfolio and Gotham Books, and the announcement of more new imprints launching in 2004, including The Penguin Press and Sentinel. The company also excelled in its efforts to publish fresh new literary and commercial voices last year. As we strive to continue to enhance our leadership position in the book publishing world, the powerhouse talent among our authors and the publishing teams across the company are key to our continued financial health in 2004 and beyond.” Penguin Group (USA) Author List Represents Prestige, Depth and Perennial Bestsellers Penguin Group (USA) is renowned for its deep and wide-ranging list of award winning literary and New York Times bestselling authors, many achieving new heights in 2003.

  • Hybrid Teas Vintage Gardens Complete Catalogue
    180 HYBRID TEAS VINTAGE GARDENS COMPLETE CATALOGUE Hybrid Teas The old adage “familiarity breeds contempt” aptly describes what may be in store for this largest group of rose hybrids ever created. Hybrid Teas have held sway in the public favor for so long that they have eclipsed all the other classes. With the recent renaissance of interest in old roses, and with the advent of David Austin’s widely popular English roses, Hybrid Teas have begun to lose their grip on gardeners. Many aficionados of old-fash- ioned roses will have nothing to do with HTs, and this may be the start of a wider rejec- tion of the class. Few rose collectors bother with them, and the older varieties are largely being conserved in public gardens, where space is in demand for old roses and English roses. It is ironic that a decade ago we were fighting for the old roses and today we spend our energy championing the preservation of old HTs and Floribundas. Tastes in color change too; just as mauve and purple fell out of favor early in this cen- tury, orange and flame seem endangered today. Before you give up on them, grow a few of the older Pernetianas, especially those of hybridist Pedro Dot, who selected and bred for rich and complex mixtures of colors in warm shades. Habit It would be tempting to offer a dozen different examples of Hybrid Tea growth habit, so varied is this class. For simplicity’s sake I have chosen six examples which roughly show the range of shrubs that are found among Hybrid Teas.
