This chart arms parents with Scripture for working with the easily distracted or less than diligent child. The chart covers many areas of laziness and includes a Bible verse for each problem. Take your child to the chart, identify his slothful action or attitude, read what God says about it, and pray for his strength to obey. The chart covers the following topics: serving God, gratefulness, honesty, humility, perseverance, obedience, thoroughness, responsibility, initiative, consideration, and redeeming time.

One by one the ants march to get to shelter from the rain, in this illustrated version of the classic children's song.

This tale of ants parading toward a picnic is “one of those rare gems capable of entertaining while it instructs” (Middlesex News). One hundred hungry ants march off single file to sample a picnic, but when the going gets too slow, they divide into two rows of fifty, then four rows of twenty-five . . . until they take so long that the picnic is gone! “The unexpected pairing of sophisticated art and light-hearted text lends this book particular distinction.” —Publishers Weekly “The illustrations . . . use a pleasing palette and energetic lines to depict ants with highly individual characters.” —Horn Book

This chart is designed to help you be more consistent in disciplining your children. When children disobey, this chart helps parents know what to do and helps children know what to expect. The first column lists common areas of misbehavior (arguing, complaining, hitting, defiance, etc.), each illustrated with a simple cartoon. The center column gives a Bible verse relating to each sin. The third column is blank, for you to complete with the agreed-upon consequences for each misbehavior. The instructions offer suggestions, but you choose your own disciplinary actions. You can cut out the pre-lettered consequences and glue them onto the chart, or write in your own.

The question of whose perspective, experience and history is privileged in educational institutions has shaped curriculum debates for decades. In this insightful collection, Michael W. Apple and Kristen L. Buras interrogate the notion that some knowledge is worth more than others. The Subaltern Speak combines an analysis of the ways in which various forms of power now operate, with a specific focus on spaces in which subaltern groups act to reassert their own perceived identities, cultures and histories.

For more than three decades Michael Apple has sought to uncover and articulate the connections among knowledge, teaching and power in education. In this collection, Michael brings together 13 of his key writings in one place, providing an overview not just of his own career but the larger development of the field.
