Flashlight night
\"Flashlight Night is an ode to the power of imagination and the wonder of books. Three children use a flashlight to light a path around their backyard at night; in the flashlight's beam another world looms. Our heroes encounter spooky woods, a fearsome tiger, a time-forgotten tomb, an Egyptian god, a sword-fighting pirate, and a giant squid. With ingenuity, they vanquish all, then return to their tree house--braver, closer, and wiser than before--to read the books that inspired their adventure.\"--provided by publisher.

Electricity is an integral part of daily life. Children, like adults, infer the effects of electrical conductivity. They see the illumination of a lightbulb or feel the emission of warmth from an electric stovetop but may not understand the role electrical circuits play. Focusing on the concrete aspects of electrical energy transfer helps improve student experiences with the abstract concept of electricity. In this article the authors provide experiences for elementary-age children to explore electrical circuits. Their purposes for these lessons are for students to develop questions and connect their exploration of electrical energy to concrete observations of electrical effects found in trade books.

Miwok Moon
Sheldon's father, Herman, from Los Angeles, permits himself animated expression of any feeling that attacks him, whether it's a response to a silly joke or a response to a friend in trouble or a news report about recent atrocities in what was once Yugoslavia. [...]to make a short story shorter, I went. The moon rides high overhead, a silver bowl filled with blurred features of a sad but sympathetic face.
