I am really grateful to the staff from the hospital for taking my idea on board and working together to develop it. If you are planning a lesson plan for the beginning of the school year, an All About Me theme is a great one to start the year with. I suggested we developed a patient passport or, as the hospital has called it, the ‘ About me’ booklet. This is, apparently, an ‘anti-memoir’. Perhaps because it is recalled in impossibly sharp detail - surely there is fiction here between the memories. Perhaps because the life it describes is mundane and troubled - we are used to memoir coming from the ‘great and good’. Perhaps because Galloway is hinting at a narrative here that she did not grasp as a child.

It was true. Alma was blonde. She was good with hair, had the top bunk in a real bedroom and still thought Santa was right enough. Alma would get on just fine. I could relate to Chrissy in a lot of aspects in this book, her advice is stuff we've all heard before, but her examples of how she applied it to her own circumstances, made the book more relateable to me. Presentation: The ending image is a great touch when they show an empty suitcase and prompt the reader to think about what they would take if they had to leave. It was a great feature in wrapping up a story while promoting a deeper thinking about the book. It puts the reader into the book and has them think about what they would do.

At the beginning of the school year, it is incredibly important for children to get comfortable with their classmates. Learning about each other is a great way for children to make friends with people that share common interests to themselves. these books just keep pouring down on me. well, there's worse ways to go than a book tsunami, specially if Janice Galloway is the spume: From the #1 New York Times bestselling creative team of Jamie Lee Curtis and Laura Cornell comes a timely picture book about immigration.

The booklet aims to provide an assessment tool that allows social workers to better understand the child’s needs, aspirations, and the resources available to them. It serves as a valuable tool for engaging with the child and planning effective support. My brother died just over three years ago and I was born with a learning disability, long term heart problems, diabetes, arthritis, dyslexia and dyspraxia, so I sometimes get my words in a muddle and I am very clumsy. I take lots of different tablets but I am just grateful to be alive and living in my own home. We were born in August 1971 in a theatre, not an operating theatre but a lecture theatre so that the student nurses and doctors could observe a multiple birth.

My kids enjoy answering their questions and comparing with each other what they have written. I love that it gets them writing and thinking in a different way. My other daughter wasn’t like this, she said. Cora loved the school. She was desperate to get there. This one—she looked at me and sighed—this one’s different.

I really liked the first chapter, but it went downhill from there. There was a weird amount of humble bragging/regular bragging? And I found her to be a likely unreliable narrator. I thought this wasn’t very good for people with a learning disability as sometimes we find it hard to communicate with clinical staff or have things we need to talk about which are sensitive or difficult. So I talked to the patient and liaison service (PALS) about how we could make things better. Major Themes: Culture is a major theme of this story. The teacher tells the students about her culture, and we see unique cultures of the students. Acceptance is another theme; the students tell all about their most prize possessions to their peers. The students share their interests, and meaningful belongings, without fear of rejection. The last theme of this book is: Individuality. The students show all their unique personalities. They each have their own voices; and we get to hear about the things they love most. I grab my nearly useless pen with the very little ink I’ve learned to ration each day and stare at it. Change my mind. Abandon the effort it takes to write things down. Having a cellmate might be okay. Talking to a real human being might make things easier. I practice using my voice, shaping my lips around the familiar words unfamiliar to my mouth. I practice all day.I enjoyed the early descriptions of that dependency on a mother and their closeness when they finally leave the abusive father. Life with Cora is a minefield however and only the fact that her mother is safer makes it more bearable. As a you man I studied in Scotland, and the dry, lapidary nature of Scots wisdom and Scots humour has stayed with me. In Janice Galloway's hands, this fine razor of a tool serves up sliver after sliver of funny, devastating memories, described in a terse, elegant style. He presses his lips together. Looks up at the ceiling. “So, okay—the first thing you need to know is that this isn’t my fault, okay? I was just trying to help.” It is such a fun book with all kinds of questions for kids to answer including things like: What do you think about when you wake up in the morning? What games do you like to play? What makes you laugh?
