It is a complex time to be a parent. Our climate is in crisis, and economic inequality is deepening. Racialized violence is spreading, and school shootings are escalating. How do we, as parents, cultivate in our children a love of the earth, a cry for justice, and a commitment to nonviolence? Where do we place our bodies so we teach our kids that resistance is crucial and change is possible? What practices do we hold as a family to encourage them to work with their hands, honor their hearts, and nurture their spirits? The Sandbox Revolution calls upon our collective wisdom to wrestle with the questions, navigate the challenges, offer concrete practices, and remind parents of the sacredness of the work. Written by parents who are also writers, pastors, teachers, organizers, artists, gardeners, and activists, this anthology offers a diversity of voices and experiences on topics that include education, money, anti-racism, resistance, spirituality, disability justice, and earth care.

This book is a field kit to help those who are serving stay connected to their beloved back home. The poems I wrote back to my beloved Lisa will serve as a guide for you to draft your own odes and letters. Just use the included blank postcard pages to draft or copy an ode that reminds you of who you're missing and why. Then carefully cut out your completed postcard page, fold it in half and send it in the mail to your beloved! MAKE YOUR BELOVED SMILE! Simply use the included postcard pages to write an ode to your beloved. Then cut out your completed postcard page, fold it in half, and drop it in the mail! Your ode doesn't have to be perfect, it doesn't always have to rhyme and you shouldn't worry about it sounding silly. In fact, being a little silly is part of what makes writing poems fun and keeps you connected to your beloved. If you've run out of creative writing ammo, just copy the ode I wrote and replace Lisa's name with the name of someone you're missing. My beloved Lisa and I are closer together now because we stayed connected during my deployment. I hope my Odes from the Sandbox help you stay close to the ones you love, even when you're serving far away.Hooah! -Jeffrey

'I found this book to be very useful and would recommend it to all infant teachers, especially those working with children with special needs... It gave me plenty of new ideas, and would be especially helpful to newly trained teachers' - REACH Many young children need targeted support and encouragement to help develop their literacy skills. This book contains tried and tested activities to improve listening, verbal reasoning and language skills in young children and shows you how to turn theory into fun, practical ideas for the classroom. The author shows how to link activities to the Early Learning Goals and the National Literacy Strategy and the book includes: - lesson activities using puppets, nursery rhymes, story boxes and picture books; - suggestions for using role-play; - ideas for organising your play setting to encourage literacy-related play; - lesson plans; - assessment guidelines; - lists of resources; - a selection of photocopiable material.

It suggests ways to improve young children's literacy skills and can also be used as an INSET resource to share with the whole staff. Hilary White is a freelance writer, consultant and teacher.
