Books with author Ben Jones

A Child's Seasonal Treasury was conceived as a Waldorf-inspired resource book for parents and teachers of young children. Throughout the seasons, songs, verses, poems, riddles, fingerplays, games, creative drama and movement, watercolor painting, handcrafts, healthy recipes and gratitude for life that rekindles a sense of wonder are keynotes of this Smithsonian Notable Children's Book (Nov. 1997, Vol 28, Number 8) Having been chosen as the first book in the Hearthsong Family Library (1996), Waldorf Education has grown tremendously and with the surge of home schools, charter schools, pre-schools and daycare centers, quality curriculum that is child-centred to help counteract the influences of TV and technology on the very young is imperative. This newly published edition has been up-dated with more writing and all illustrations by the author, a conversion chart for the recipes to "translate" world-wide, and the promise that at home or at school, this book will bring joy into the process of learning, both for children and for the adults who are involved with them on a daily basis. The Education Edition is printed on a lower quality print stock to make it more affordable but is otherwise identical to the Premium Edition.

Cheerleading uniforms, accessories, and other expenses all add up, and like most schools, Greenview Junior High can't cover all the costs for their cheerleaders. As fund-raising chair, Lissa knows how important it is for her to make sure the cheer team has enough money to enter competitions. But it becomes even more important when she worries her family won't be able to afford her spot on the team.
