Re: [MOSAIC] OT Maternity Leave questions
Nope. Our district allows you to come back at any time. And by the way, Daddies get the same options Mommies do. Contact your union rep.

I thought maternity had to be treated as any other illness--would a person with a broken leg face these restrictions? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ljackson Sent: Monday, May 14, 2007 7:10 AM To: Mosaic: A Reading Comprehension Strategies Email Group Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] OT Maternity Leave questions Nope.

Re: [MOSAIC] novels & social studies
I have just completed a holocaust text set for a grad class assignment. If you are interested in it, I can send it to you directly. 'Becca [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Rose Blanche by Roberto Innocenti, Christophe Gallaz (Editor), Roberto Innocenti (Illustrator) School Library Journal Gr 5 Up During World War II, a young German schoolgirl, Rose Blanche, follows the soldiers when they arrest a boy and discovers a concentration camp in the woods. Thereafter , she takes food to the prisoners until the town is liberated. Ironically, when she travels to the camp on that day she is shot by the soldiers. The oppression of Fascism is shown through the powerful and realistic paintings. In Innocenti's large, meticulously detailed paintings, Rose Blanche is the only brightly colored individual, and her small figure is set against the drab colors of overwhelming buildings and masses of soldiers and townspeople. No skyline is shown until a radiant spring bursts forth at the site of her death after the liberation. Although the story is simply told, it will require interpretation as details such as the concentration camp are not named nor explained, and the death of Rose Blanche is implied but not stated. This is a difficult book to classify, as the text is easy enough for a y oung child to read alone, and it has the appearance of a picture bookbut the content of the text and illustrations is full of emotional impact and subtlety. -- Original message -- From: Ruth Devoll > > I have a friend that teaches sixth grade in Texas. > she writes to me that: > > I try to connect novels that we read to our social studies unit. > I use several for WWII.
