INTRODUCTION It is "time" to start the 1994 New York State Summer Reading Program For this year's theme of Read Around the Clock, the imaginations of librarians from across the state provided creative ideas tied to history, science, music, and literature. The theme offers an abundance ofprogramming ideas, which have culminated in this resource manual. The 1994 Read Around the Clock manual is a resource guide that can move you. with ease from planning to evaluating the summer reading program, which is such an important part of public library service to youth. Use the camera-ready clip art and printed materials available through Gaylord Brothers to entice children and young adults to your program. With the book lists, programming ideas, games and crafts, you can make this summer "time" the best ever at your library. This manual offers ideas for working with young people from preschool through young adult. Pat Cummings, the award-winning children's book illustrator, brilliantly rendered the theme in rich color illustrations and memorable images. Her vision of Read Around the Clock and her dedication to connecting kids and books made for a successful collaboration. Look at the list of contributors and you will know that there are many people to thank for their support of this statewide project. A special acknowledgement is in order for State Librarian, Joseph F. Shubert, for his continuing support of New York State youth services and for providing the LSCA grant to the Onondaga County Public Library for developing the 1994 Summer Reading Program. A most special thank you goes to Janet Park for her undaunting work and good humor throughout the production of the manual. Now set your alarm, wind-up your clock, and plan a schedule of exciting and innovative reading activities to Read Around The Clock Summer 1994! oZL.74-2,49-v) t4--e3 Sari Feldman, Chair 1994 New York State Summer Reading Program 4 1 Many, many individuals contributed generously both their time and ideas to support the develop- ment of the 1994 New York State Summer Reading Program.

  • The Caldecott Medal 2021
    Caldecott Medal Books oppl.org/kids-lists The Caldecott Medal is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children. It is given to the illustrator of the most distinguished American picture book published the preceding year. The name of Randolph Caldecott, an English illustrator of books for children, was chosen for the medal because his work best represented the “joyousness of picture books as well as their beauty.” The horseman on the medal is taken from one of Caldecott’s illustrations for “The Diverting History of John Gilpin” (1878). The medal was originally donated by publisher Frederic G. Melcher (1879–1963), and is now donated by his son, Daniel. 1939 Mei Li Handforth 1972 One Fine Day Hogrogian 1940 Abraham Lincoln d’Aulaire 1973 The Funny Little Woman Lent 1941 They Were Strong and Good Lawson 1974 Duffy and the Devil Zemach 1942 Make Way for Ducklings McCloskey 1975 Arrow to the Sun McDermott 1943 The Little House Burton 1976 Why Mosquitoes Buzz in 1944 Many Moons Slobodkin People’s Ears Dillon 1945 Prayer for a Child Jones 1977 Ashanti to Zulu: 1946 The Rooster Crows Petersham African Traditions Dillon 1947 The Little Island Weisgard 1978 Noah’s Ark Spier 1948 White Snow, Bright Snow Duvoisin 1979 Girl Who Loved Wild Horses Goble 1949 The Big Snow Hader 1980 Ox-Cart Man Cooney 1950 Song of the Swallows Politi 1981 Fables Lobel 1951 The Egg Tree Milhous 1982 Jumanji Van Allsburg 1952 Finders Keepers Mordvinoff 1983 Shadow Brown 1953 The Biggest Bear Ward 1984 The Glorious Flight Provensen 1954 Madeline’s Rescue

    CHRISTCHURCH COLLEGE OF EDUCATION LIBRARY A HISTORY OF MUSIC EDUCATION IN NEW ZEALAND STATE PRIMARY AND INTERMEDIATE SCHOOLS 1878-1989 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Canterbury by Susan P. Braatvedt B.A. (Natal), Dip.Arts (Auckland), B.A.Rons (Canterbury) VOLUME II University of Canterbury 2002 Chapter Five 1950-1968 266 The growth ofschool music Chapter Five 1950 -1968 The growth of school music "music is fmnly established as an integral part of the school curriculum."l 5.1 Introduction This 18-year period was dominated by the National Party except for one term when Labour was voted back into office from 1958? When the National Party took office in December 1949, they inherited an educational system in which school music had not been particularly well served. Robert Chapman comments: The underlying changes in the golden 1960s were social rather than political, technological rather than legislative, individual rather than public ....The tertiary education boom, television, and the contraceptive pill were transforming family and personal relationships as well as the method by which politics were perceived. Government expenditure underwrote the surging development of health and education ... 3 In chapter one section 1.2 it was pointed out that the influence of English music education endured for many years. It is in this period that we begin to see a development of a more innovative approach which was more eclectic in its character. 1 AE. Campbell, Director-General of Education, AJHR.

  • Peter Cullen and Frank Welker Are More Than Meets the Eye
    Peter Cullen and Frank Welker Are More Than Meets the Eye Few cartoons and actions figures are as iconic, popular and recognizable as Transformers. Whether you grew up with the ’80s TV series, the original 1988 film or even the current blockbuster franchise, you most likely know the difference between an Autobot and a Decepticon. The original voices behind the eternal foes Optimus Prime and Megatron, Peter Cullen and Frank Welker, each have been doing voice work for over 50 years, and I was excited to talk with them in advance of their appearance at RI Comic Con. Rob Duguay (Motif): When you were approached to do the voices for the Transformers cartoon in the ’80s, what was your reaction? Peter Cullen: I remember being very curious about it. It was so new, so different from anything I had ever done or seen before. That is because there were no cute funny characters of all sorts of voice ranges, but simply an assortment of metal robots that fought for good or evil. It was more real life than cartoons. I was asked to read a few characters including Prime, and that opportunity proved to be a once in a lifetime. The words were perfect, some advice from my brother Larry — who is also a personal hero of mine — and the rest is history. Frank Welker: I was not familiar with the franchise at all, but loved the characters and the art. They were different than anything I was working on at the time. It was fun to play so many characters and of course I had the opportunity to be the big bad boy and I loved doing him and still do.

  • Legenden David Bowie Släpper Ny Singel Och Samling
    2014-09-09 15:49 CEST LEGENDEN DAVID BOWIE SLÄPPER NY SINGEL OCH SAMLING Nya Deluxe samlingen ”Nothing Has Changed” som släpps den 17 november via Parlophone innehåller den nya singeln ”Sue (Or In A Season Of Crime)”. ALBUM: 3CD, 2CD, DUBBEL VINYL OCH DIGITAL DOWNLOAD SINGEL: LIMITERAD UPPLAGA OM 10" vinyl och digital download Femtio år efter sin första inspelning fortsätter David Bowie att vara i spetsen för samtida kultur som musiker, konstnär och ikon. ”Nothing Has Changed” samlar för första gången all Bowie’s musik från åren 1964-2014. Albumet (uppkallat efter en text från öppningsspåret "Sunday" från albumet "Heathen”) samlar låtarna från varje period av Bowies karriär – allt från hans tidigaste inkarnationer som "Liza Jane" och "Can’t Help Thinking About Me” enda fram till James Murphys "Hello Steve Reich Mix" av "Love Is Lost" från förra året. Albumet innehåller Bowies första nya musik sedan han släppte det kritikerrosade albumet ”The Next Day" förra året. Den nya singeln "SUE (Or In A Season Of Crime) spelades in särskilt för ”Nothing Has Changed” tillsammans med långtida samarbetspartnern Tony Visconti och kommer att släppas i en begränsad upplaga (10" singel och digital nedladdning) samma dag som albumet. Vid sidan av det helt nya spåret innehåller albumet den tidigare outgivna låten "Let Me Sleep Beside You" som togs fram från inspelningarna till mytomspunna albumet "TOY" som aldrig släpptes, låten "Your Turn To Drive" som gör debut på CD samt den fantastiska 2001 nyinspelningen av låten "Shadow Man" från år 1971.
