{"product_id":"turtle-summer-a-journal-for-my-daughter-9780977742356","title":"Turtle Summer: A Journal for My Daughter","description":"This is a companion book to Mary Alice Monroe's novel, Swimming Lessons, the sequel to The Beach House. In the novel, the readers witness a young mother, Toy, writing a journal for her daughter, Little Lovie. This is the journal Toy is writing. Using original photographs, this scrapbook journal explains the nesting cycle of sea turtles and the natural life along the Southeastern coast, including local shore birds, shells, and the sea turtle hospital. Adults and children will enjoy the images, information and the journal with or without the novel. The \"For Creative Minds\" educational section includes turtle nesting facts, a shell identification activity, and a make-your-own nature journal. This fictional story includes a 5-page For Creative Minds section in the back of the book and a 62-page cross-curricular Teaching Activity Guide online. Turtle Summer is vetted by experts and designed to encourage parental engagement. Its extensive back matter helps teachers with time-saving lesson ideas, provides extensions for science, math, and social studies units, and uses inquiry-based learning to help build critical thinking skills in young readers. The Spanish translation supports ELL and dual-language programs. The interactive ebook reads aloud in both English and Spanish with word highlighting and audio speed control to promote oral language skills, fluency, pronunciation, text engagement, and reading comprehension.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arbordale Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780977742356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.24h x 8.90w x 0.43d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2007 pg. 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2007 pg. 409 - Marginal, Seriously Flawed\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScience Books \u0026amp; Films\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2007 pg. 275\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScience Books \u0026amp; Films Best Bks\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2008 pg. 13\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e116992 \/ Turtle Summer: A Journal for My Daughter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.5 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Mary Alice Monroe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44507350007989,"sku":"9780977742356","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_776905b6-0e7f-4280-8f39-624ccf8d3c65.jpg?v=1722311889","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/turtle-summer-a-journal-for-my-daughter-9780977742356","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
