Book Description
Teachers, in the classroom, at home, or online, are asked to provide quality instruction around the Science of Reading and develop early literacy foundational abilities incorporating phonemic awareness, phonics, reading fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension strategies.

This book will help elementary teachers incorporate familiar fairy tales into STEM lessons. Each of the tales is easily acquired children’s literature (most non-copyrighted) so teachers can easily access a copy and/or provide students with their copy. Additionally, each tale has its organized STEM lesson with easy replication with low-cost household items that provide students with rich, hands-on experiences. Teachers will be able to pick up this book and start incorporating quality experiences for their students right away. The inclusion of the 5E Lesson Plan (with Common Core standards) and proper usage of vocabulary that accompanies each tale will enable teachers to provide instruction that reaches higher Bloom’s and Depth of Knowledge for their students.

Book Description
About this Book A lifetime tinkerer lets you see some pages from his notebook so you can share the joy he finds in tinkering. His notes about his own tinkering tell how his family, friends and his environment encouraged and enabled him to tinker from his earliest days and onward through his working life. He describes the principles and practices that he and other tinkerers follow to ensure success. The notes include stories about all types of tinkerers, amateurs and professionals, boys and girls, men and women -- people who tinker alone or in teams. Tinkerers work (or play) with the objects around them. Some tinker when they have to fix something on their own. Some tinker by rearranging things for enjoyment, trying to make them work better, (e.g., recipes, computer apps, or model train sets). Others tinker with things to understand how they work and see what else they might be able to do with "just a little bit of tinkering." Some do some serious tinkering with various sets of objects to create something totally new or different. Some tinkerers don't limit themselves to tinkering with physical objects, they tinker with ideas. These tinkerers hear or read about new ideas and they tinker with ways to combine them to see how they interact with each other. We have a new term for tinkering with ideas. We call that "thinkering" and the basic principles of tinkering apply. There are several intriguing examples of thinkering in the notes. These are the kinds of things tinkerers do. They all show up in the notes the author wants to share with you. You will see descriptions of several of individual tinkering projects. One, to invent something to solve an annoying cell phone problem. There is another where team tinkering was required and was very effective. There is a pair of stories about tinkering to get electricity to remote places and another about a business owner who must tinker to keep extending the capabilities of his basic product. And, don't miss the story about the non-stop tinkerer. As part of "Tinkering in the News," there are notes on some tinkerers activities mentioned in the press. The notes also include some aspects of past and future tinkering and how new technology is helping tinkerers realize their fondest tinkering dreams. Also, there are notes on how women tinkerers are finally getting recognition for past work and for new tinkering work that is sparking innovation in many fields. In the section called Weird or Wonderful Tinkering you will you'll find notes on some of the author's unusual tinkering ideas. They are there for you to have fun thinkering about them. When you're done, you can judge for yourself whether they should be called Weird or Wonderful. The author hopes that this book and the stories in it will aid and encourage you and others to become active tinkerers and share in the joy and adventure of tinkering.

Book Description
The first Tinker Tale popped out over fifteen years ago and they just keep a-coming. Die Schwarzwitwe (Black Widow) starts this collection, introducing Tinker and a couple of ongoing characters: Magic John-a gutter mage, and Red the Ted-a psychic bruiser of advancing years. It also introduces the theme of magic as Tinker begins his reluctant evolution into a magician with an exorcism. This one is for Vincent fans. Other characters follow. In Hard Iain a warrior Pict ancestor vectors into Tinker via a miscegenated motorcycle, precipitating a fiery immolation. Death, in the unlikely form of a young girl, thumbs a lift from Tinker in Free Ride and him to introduces Anarch, the irascible personification of Freedom. Problems with law and order follow, plus a gifting that effectively ensures a hands-off with Death. Iain resurfaces in Pictoglyph to tell the tale of his heroic demise, set Tinker a heavy task, and leave his mark. In Death in the Dam a cute little Reaper comes to claim an old friend from Tinkers misspent youth whos run out of road. Away with the fairies at Underhills annual market, Buyer Beware finds Tinker buying a pup, amongst other things, and rescuing a maiden from goblins. Bonzo, the pup, shows his stuff in Boodgie Woodgie when Tinker takes him busking and the Law butts in. The next tale, Alfie, has Tinker acting as advocate for an old sinner while a demon prosecutes and Death sits in judgement. Lastly, in Time Passages, a trip to the past discovers Tinker confronting his younger self and Jean, the ill-fated love of his life. A choice to make and a life at stake. Sadder, wiser hopefully, Tinker faces the future--perhaps in Tinker Tales Two? Regular readers of Back Street Heroes magazine may have seen some of these stories before, some of the characters may even seem vaguely familiar. Actually, there is a fair bit of reality in the mix, fact frequently being no stranger to fiction. Resemblance to anyone living, dead, or ethereal is but coincidental. Anyone offended by Tinker, or any other character, should remember theyre the stuff of which dreams are made, and who can claim to control a dream? Literate biker fiction may seem oxymoronic, some may be surprised they can actually read. Tinker Tales attempts, not only to entertain, but to counter the negative reputation motorcycling and magic has acquired. If the author succeeds in that, it is enough.

Book Description
Transport yourself into the magical kingdom of Lentari, along with Steve and Sarah Miller (introduced in The Bakkian Chronicles), a world of kings and princes, dragons, dwarves, and all sorts of mythical creatures. Book 1 – Lost City Lukas, a young dwarf, narrowly averts tragedy while attending a class by the master craftsman Maelnar, falling into the forge’s fire. Amazingly, he comes away from the near miss with only a mark on his back. The mark is not quite a burn. But it is disfiguring and embarrassing to the family, and it’s not fading away, so his father, Venk, takes young Lukas to consult the most respected wizard in the kingdom. They learn this mysterious mark is part of a Questor’s Mark, a sort of roadmap to an adventure that had long been the dream of many—to find the Lost City of Nar. Book 2 – Something Wyverian This Way Comes Steve and Sarah Miller receive an urgent message from Lentari, the land they call their second home, the magical place of dragons and wizards, the land where they became, for a time, guardians to the crown prince. When both of them have the same unsettling dream, a vision that something bad is happening in Lentari, they go—without a second thought. They learn a terrible sickness is consuming the dragon population, affecting their powers, starving them, killing them. Steve and Sarah arrive with two goals: help the dragons find the source of the ailment, and don’t tell the king they suspect it’s a curse or spell of some kind. Book 3 – A Portal For Your Thoughts The peaceful kingdom of Lentari is rocked by the disappearances of several citizens, and when the latest—a young girl—vanishes, the king dispatches his top aides to find out what’s happening. Piecing together the clues, they ride to a lush forest near the seaside town of Capily where they come across an odd disturbance in the undergrowth. A few tests, and it’s evident the anomaly is a portal of some sort, and the consensus is that they will need the strongest teleporter known to the kingdom in order to solve the mystery of where the portal leads and how it has taken the missing villagers. The only teleporter with this much power is Lady Sarah, the human with the needed jhorun to possibly save them. Sarah and her husband Steve transport to Lentari from their home in America, and as she is studying the odd new portal the unthinkable happens. Lady Sarah is pulled into the portal and vanishes! Praise for Jeffrey Poole and his Epic Fantasy fiction: “I loved this book. It had so much imagination to it. Great for young and old.” - D. Estrada “There's adventure & a little humor and all the characters are just right. “ - Happy2Day “I especially liked that this story revolved around a husband and wife team, rather than being the typical “hero's journey” of an adolescent boy.” - M.L., 5 star review “… plenty of action, adventure, and romance, but is harmless enough for pre-teens to read; it is a well-told tale.” – 5 stars on Amazon “If you love wizards, dragons, griffins & such, you have got to read the Bakkian Chronicles!” – 5 stars online review
