Time after time, experience shows that learning by manipulating physical objects with one’s own hands — learning by doing things firsthand, rather than being told about them or reading about them in a book — is extremely effective. Thames & Kosmos has a long history of incorporating this principle into science education. Now, we are bringing this experience to the Kids First Math line, a series of nine hands-on kits with activity cards or lesson guides designed to demonstrate and teach concepts in mathematics, as well as other skills such as logical thinking, problem solving, and creative thinking.

Engage children in practicing basic reading and writing skills with the help of fascinating animals! From chameleons to kangaroos, the beautiful animal photographs and stories in Listen and Learn: Animals will take young children on an animal adventure around the world.

Each unit is organized around a specific animal and includes facts about where animals live, what they look like, what they eat, how their body parts work, and how they take care of their young. Activities include animal games, art, writing, and drawing, and help children practice alphabet awareness, beginning sounds, counting, writing numbers, matching, and more.

Every page includes an audio option so that children can listen to read-alouds and learn about their favorite animals. Listen and Learn: Animals also engages children in learning with hands-on art activities and real-life animal photography.

The Prima Latina Instructional Videos feature detailed instruction by the program’s author, Leigh Lowe.

Lessons are approximately 20 minutes each.

Workbooks extend practice to reinforce and consolidate information covered in textbooks. Colorful and compelling activities make this essential part of the learning process fun for students.

Note: Two workbooks (A and B) for each grade correspond to the two halves of the school year. Answer key not included. Soft cover. Grades PK-2 Workbooks are perforated.

Workbooks offer the independent practice necessary for students to hone their skills. Corresponding to textbook material, lessons begin with fundamentals and progresses to more challenging problems. Features & Components:

• Basics: Provide a review of basic concepts covered in textbooks.
• Practice: Reinforces and consolidates learning through practice problems.
• Challenge: Offers advanced enrichment through challenging problems.
• Check: Gives students a chance to confirm their understanding.

Note: Two workbooks (A and B) for each grade correspond to the two halves of the school year. Answer key not included. Soft cover. Grades PK-2 Workbooks are perforated. A note for teachers: Differentiated workbook problems offer a range of complexity. The workbook problems in each lesson are structured to become increasingly challenging. Every student will not necessarily complete every question. Lessons are structured to include the following sections, in order: Basics, Practice, and Challenge. Basics covers the main concepts of the lesson (and shows parents how these concepts were taught). Practice offers further practice. Challenge problems are optional and can be used as homework or in class, as time permits. Students will work at their own pace, starting from the problems in Basics, progressing to Practice, then to Challenge. It is not essential for all problems to be completed if homework load is a concern. Additionally, students may arrive at correct answers using different processes from the ones shown in the Teacher's Guide. Accept all correct answers, as methods used may vary throughout.

It's time to meet one of the latest members of the UGears Mechanical Town series: the UGears Rail Manipulator. This wooden mechanical model allows you to load crates into a train car and adjust them to within half an inch of their intended position. Thanks to the designs of actual cranes, the UGears Rail Manipulator is no ordinary toy.

When you purchase the Manipulator, you receive a kit with all the parts for assembling your crane. However, this model is more than just a decorative piece for your dresser or desk. It's also a working crane, and it comes with everything you need to keep it busy: two shipping crates, a freight car to put them in, two railroad sections, and five people. There's also a model shed to put alongside your new railway.

Best-selling author Clyde Robert Bulla's classic, finely-crafted Arthurian tale with its sword fights, dark and dangerous dungeon, roguish knaves, action-packed showdowns and tales of dangerous feats, will appeal to emerging readers who are ready for chapter books and reluctant tween readers alike.

In the days of King Arthur there stood a mighty oak tree within the walls of a castle. Peace reigned in the castle until the fearsome night when Lionel, long-lost brother of Lord Weldon, returned to cause trouble and unhappiness.

It was then that Shan, the son of Lord Weldon, took on the duties of a knight and hid the sword in the hollow of the giant oak. The days that followed were filled with adventures that tried the courage of the young boy.

Shan was surprised by bearded robbers in the woods. He met noble knights in plumed helmets, and eventually he even made a trip to high-towered Camelot. His story is filled with the pageantry and color of England in King Arthur's time. It creates a vivid picture of the Knights of the Round Table and the wisdom of King Arthur himself.
