Chinese New Year for Kids

  ‘Chinese New Year for Kids’ is a full color paperback book with beautiful Chinese illustrations (插图). This is a hands-on workbook for parents and teachers, written for children from ages 3 to 12 years old, for use in the classroom or at home. Music, physical movement, art, and food all add to the atmosphere of taking an imaginary trip to China during the Chinese New Year.

  The Polar Express

  One couldn't select a more delightful and exciting premise (前提)for a children's book than the tale of a young boy lying awake on Christmas Eve only to have Santa Claus sweep by and take him on a trip with other children to the North Pole. And one couldn’t ask for a more talented artist and writer to tell the story than Chris Van Allsburg.

  The Secret of Saying Thanks

Perhaps you’d like to know a secret, one of the happiest ones of all. You'll discover it all on your own, maybe when you least expect. If you’ve not yet discovered the secret of saying thanks, it’s waiting for you. The secret can be found in the sunrise that offers promises for the day ahead, or in the gentle shade of a tree sheltering you from the hot rays of the sun.

  The Runaway Pumpkin

  When Buck, Billy and their little sister Lily spy the biggest pumpkin they've ever seen, they can't resist (抵制). Buck and Billy try to roll the pumpkin down the hill to show everyone, but it’s too big! Before they know it, it’s rolling out of control down the hillside. It knocks over Grandpa Baxter and makes him think of pumpkin soup. And when Poppa Baxter finally stops, all he can think of is pumpkin bread.

Welcome to City Year UK

       City Year UK is founded on the belief that young people can change the world. As “near peer” role models and tutors, our volunteers support pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds to enjoy and succeed at school. But that’s not all. Over the course of their City Year, they also have the opportunity to develop as leaders, with the passion, values, experience and skills to go on to lead change in their communities long after their year of service.

Our Goal

     Our mission is to inspire the role models to help children in need succeed in school:

We give our volunteers the training and personal development they need to become powerful and effective leaders.

We show the power of individual action to drive collective impact.

Our Values

    PROGRESSION: we are devoted to the personal and professional development of all.

ACTION: we don’t just talk, we do. We are always ready.

EXCELLENCE: we struggle for nothing less, no matter where we start.

Our Future Plans

       We believe that the cumulative (渐增的) effect of the work of many devoted people and organizations can have a great impact. We are committed to increasing opportunities for young people to “act” and to create more hope.

     Our ambition is that, by 2020, 10 years after launching in the UK, we will have at least 500 young people a year serving around 40,000 children across five cities.

Our History

Reading can provide lots of fun for children and teens during summer vacation. Children who read during the summer are better prepared for school when they return to classes in the fall. Public libraries throughout  Wisconsin will host summer events to encourage children and young adults to include reading in their summer fun.

All Star Readers

The Milwaukee Public Library will host its 2007 Summer Reading Club for kids from 3 to 18. Signing up starts on June 1 at all  Milwaukee public libraries and bookmobile sites.

Children aged 6 to 12 are invited to become "All Star Readers" at the Milwaukee library when they sign up for the Summer Reading Club. Children can score a point by reading 10 books or 1,000 pages. When they reach the reading goal. they will win a bag full of prizes.

Sparkey Spots the Ball

Children up to 5 years old can join the read-to-me club, “Sparkey Spots the Ball”. They will receive their own reading folders to record the books read to them by parents, DiLiihers and sisters or relatives. Once they have listened to 20 books, they will win a baseball and a coupon（优惠卷） for McDonald’s ice cream.

X-treme Read

Teens between the age of 13 and 18 can join in their own reading program called “X-treme Read”. Teens can read to win movie passes, CDs and more.

The library also plans extreme bike races by C4BMX at four libraries in June and July. Check with your local library or Milwaukee Journal Sentinel for the exact dates, times and places of the demonstrations(集会).

Readingcan be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the websiteBookCrossing.comturns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.

Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.

   Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”

   Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.

   People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.

   BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.
