Tomorrow evening Stenhouse will be hosting a live webcast with Georgia Heard and Jennifer McDonough – their new book is out and it’s called A Place for Wonder: Reading and Writing Nonfiction in the Primary Grades. The book is available for preview in its entirety on our website. I’m almost finished reading it and it’s wonderful! The activities are geared toward the primary grades but can definitely be modified and used in the upper grades. I am looking forward to using some of the activities in my classes this year.
The webcast is tomorrow, Oct. 26, at 8 p.m. EST. All participants need is a phone and a computer – no special equipment of software. You can direct all inquiries to Zsofia: zmcmullin@stenhouse.com
If you are interested, send Zsofia and email by tomorrow morning!

I have been thinking the same as I have been reading the book – so many of the ideas would be great for older students. They will go perfectly with my upcoming units, such as adding more sensory details.
