Glaciers are enormous masses of ice that slowly move across the Earth's surface. But how does something so big move on its own?

The book includes dazzling photographs of these icy behemoths as well as graphic organizers and annotated illustrations to aid learning.

This book details the heraldry of the Stealth Fighter beginning 10 years prior to its history-making flights over Baghdad during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

Information dealing with the development of these patches and explaining their symbology are provided. It's also about the people and comaraderie involved. As a bonus, this book contains history and lineage of patches produced during the Lockheed Product Excellence Program's existence for the Engineering and Manufacturing organizations concealed deep within the walls of the highly secretive Skunk Works.

Joe's ex-girlfriend, now privy to his true identity, also joins in the search, and has enlisted the help of her bumbling brother and friend in her plot. With clues left by his late grandmother now surfacing, Joe's life and the famous Lost Dutchman's gold are in growing peril.

Have you ever wanted to sit down beside a master teacher and see how he or she confers? In this DVD, join Patrick Allen, author of Conferring: The Keystone to Reader's Workshop, as he confers with nine different students over the course of two daysSitting down one-on-one with a student in a conference is the best way to differentiate instruction so all students can learn the comprehension skills and strategies that wise readers use. Patrick demonstrates how to connect with readers, how to monitor their progress through individual records, and, perhaps most important, how to encourage children to love books and reading while honoring their individuality. Let's face it: conferring in reader's workshop is hard work. There is no script or program that plans for all the ways a conference can be managed.Throughout What Are You Thinking? Patrick provides a strong model for navigating the open-ended possibilities that each reader brings to a reading conference. In the lesson on determining importance in text, we see Patrick model how readers decide what is essential in the text they are reading and then watch as he confers with his students about the decisions they are making while reading. Each of the nine conferences has a different instructional focus, including vocabulary, appropriate text choice, expository text, and reading with a writer's eye. This DVD will leave you ready to confer with readers in your classroom.
