Do to budget cuts, I lost my aide and now I find myself struggling doing tons of things all at once. Simple things I used to delegate to her now has to be squeezed between lessons, check in/out, shelving books and managing AR. I know I will survive and it's just establishing a routine but for now....I'm exhausted! She used to help me so much...but what can I do???

Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper

Draper's book was awesome. Definitely different from all of her other books---getting into the mind of a girl with cerebral palsy is just the kind of book EVERYONE needs to read.

I really enjoyed Melody! She was feisty, she loved Mrs V (she got Melody). About Mr. Dimming, I really thought he was horrible, have WE as a people, not advanced enough to recognize that all students deserve a chance? I think he was deceitful and those other two girls, Claire and Molly, well they could be any teen… Continue

Girl Stolen by April Henry

I loved Girl Stolen! I know my students will too! Imagine you are in your back seat, sick, waiting for your stepmom to pick up your medication and someone (not your stepmom) jumps in the car and speeds off! And on top of that, you are blind, that is what happens to Cheyenne Wilder. Cheyenne is totally believable as a strong female protagonist. The reader finds out later that she succumbed to weakness, pity and wanting to die after her accident and resulting blindness but she has worked hard to… Continue

Beyond Books new and unfreindly log-in

Do any of you subscribe to Beyond Books?

They changed the log-in. It now takes at least four steps until the contents of Beyond Books is accessed.

One cannot directly connect to the topical pages of this product. This discourages students from using this.

Has any one had realized this? If you have, it would probably be helpful to complain to the Apex Learning Company, publisher of Beyond Books.
