More from my recent photoshoot of annuals covers, this time covering The Schoolgirls' Own Annual. This is a complete run of the title. The first has the Amalgamated Press's 'file copy' sticker on it, as do a couple of the scarce wartime issues so if anyone has decent scans of these sans stickers they would be welcome. Update: Thanks to Alistair McGown I've been able to tinker with the first volume and patched over the sticker. The main artists were A. E. Bestall (better known as the illustrator of Rupert the Bear) (1923-28) and Tom Laidler (1930-35). Not sure who painted the other covers. (* Illustrations © IPC Media.)

Shikao is a cousin of The Prince. Shikao was first introduced in Katamari Damacy, and appears in all sequels as well. This particular cousin is orange with a perfect square, almost TV-shaped head. In We ♥ Katamari, his face changed position from a flat side to the middle of an edge because he turns his head away when watching scary movies. Shikao's face is centered on one of the flat sides of his head. Shikao's face is now centered on one of the corners of his head. Shikao's design does not chan

Lalala is a cousin who enjoys going out stark naked. No reference is made to Lalala's sex throughout the games, despite the fact that this cousin is naked. However, both the Beautiful Katamari matching game and the official website claim that Lalala is female. Sometimes the King asks Lalala to wear clothes instead of being nude, implying that Lalala might be an exhibitionist. Lalala's appearance changed between Katamari Damacy and its following sequels; Lalala's skin darkens from lighter to very

Living in Japan we have discovered Asahi Food Balance Up Cream biscuit sandwiches that resemble the flavors of Poptarts in America. I like them so much, I decided to write a post about the different flavors and what I believe they taste like. They come in a package with two separately sealed packages with two […]

Practical impulse control strategies to assist both you and your child to cope better with this executive skill weakness or improve it.
Impulse control is a struggle for everyone. From that cookie that’s calling your name from the kitchen cupboard to the student who just can’t stay in his seat during class, all of us have impulses that challenge our self-control. Some children struggle with impulses more than others. Children with attention difficulties have trouble ... Read more
I have had the best time, this summer, exploring a host of unbelievable school counseling and other education blogs. It always amazes me of how clever educators are. These folks are such inspirations to those of us who read about their latest endeavors and ideas! In my perusing, I began following Scrapbook of a School Counselor. One of her posts speaks about her shopping excursion at the ASCA Conference (so much fun!). I immediately recognized one of the books in her picture as Hunter and His Amazing Remote Control, written by Lori Ann Copeland. I immediately thought to myself, "She made a great purchase!" I have been using this resource for over 10 years and I wanted to post how I use this book with my students. Maybe some of you will want to use the last few weeks of summer to create any props you may use with this resource. The book includes: a story about Hunter (who has difficulty with self-control), lesson plans and activities/games, and printables. It is well laid out and extremely easy to use. I use this book in small support groups for students in Grades 3, 4, and 5 with impulsivity and self-control issues. Depending on the students, I think it could also be used with 6th graders. It is a novel concept, but the concept definitely provides a hook for these students. Each button on the remote control stands for a particular strategy/concept in maintaining self-control. For example, the Channel Changer button reminds students that when their minds drift off to another channel (or topic) different than the channel (or topic) they are supposed to be thinking about, students need to press the Channel Changer button to switch their minds back to the correct Channel. So, if the teacher is teaching about fractions in math class and his/her mind drifts off to the "What I'm Doing After School Channel" then he/she needs to press the Channel Changer button to get back on the Fractions Channel. I split up the book into 8 sessions. Each session focuses on one of the buttons. I have doubled up on the buttons in sessions...but that usually occurred with last few buttons. Overall, the basic agenda of each session is as follows: 1. Review of group rules 2. Review of the remote control button(s) from previous sessions 3. Introduce the remote control button to be taught today by using the small wooden remote control. These are foam bottons attached by Velro to a painted piecte of wood. All foam sheets were purchased at ACMoore. 3. Read section of the Hunter book that goes with today's remote control button being taught. 4. Further teach/define today's self-control strategy. Refer to the small wooden remote control. 4. Using a crayon, color today's button on personal paper remote control (this printable is located in the book). Students keep this paper remote control at the end of the group and is displayed on desk or in folder, etc. 5. Add today's foam button on large remote control. This is a cake board - cardboard rectangle, maybe 13" x 19" or so, purchased in the cake section of ACMoore. I made 8 of them. These stay in my room - students do not get to keep these. 6. Complete an activity which goes along with today's remote control button and strategy. I developed a workbook to go along with each group session. Sometimes we complete the workbook pages during the group session, but sometimes I give a page as homework. I use the homework method to further build on the ideas of self-control and personal responsibility presented in the group and will reward students for returning the workbook the next day. Students take home the workbook when it is completed. Pages in the workbook include: Ways I will use the Channel Changer button at home Ways I will use the Channel Changer button at school 5 ways I will use the Pause button A time when I didn't use the Fast Forward button.... Next time I will... As the book outlines, prior to the last session, I send a letter home to parents (teachers or other staff members) of each group member. The letter asks these folks to secretly write a letter of affirmation for the student and get them to me prior to the last session date. On the last session (Way to Go!) students read their letters (privately or aloud - whichever they feel most comfortable with). This is the most powerful session and activity. Who doesn't love to read/hear positive things about themselves? Have fun with Hunter and His Amazing Remote Control!
