"I'm Jason Starbuck. Are you Jacaranda Silverbark? I'm supposed to find..." "Jackie." "She is," answered Mei Lin. "...her," said Jason. "A talking fox? What's going on here?" "There is no time for chit chat," interrupted Mei Lin. "There will be time later, if we can get out of here. We're in big trouble." "I can see that, Ma'am. What do you want me to do?" "I like that. Haven't been called Ma'am for centuries. Dig a hole in that wall while I keep the crowd entertained." Jason knelt down and taking his spear began to dig into the side of the wall. The sharp spear point easily cut through the wattle and plaster construction. Jackie pulled the debris out of his way. "Careful," Jason cautioned her. "I don't want to cut you." "How did you know my name," Jackie asked? "Why were you looking for me?" "The Master sent me here to find you and your fox. I'm supposed to protect you. What's this all about?"

Suzan Colon, yoga teacher and former senior editor at O, The Oprah Magazine, digs deep into the spiritual philosophy behind yoga and distills thirty essential components to enrich your practice and revolutionize your life from the inside out. We live in an increasingly stressful world, and we know about the hazardous effects stress can have on our health. But meditating and mindfulness can sometimes seem elusive, unattainable, and impossible to fit into our busy days. Even the word “yoga” usually makes many people think of complicated, twisty poses—but that’s not everything. In its complete sense, yoga is a collection of life lessons for wellness and well-being and a spiritual technology from ancient times that is now more relevant, and necessary, than ever. In Yoga Mind, Suzan Colon shares thirty essential components to increase self- awareness and inner balance to use throughout your day—in traffic, on the train, at your job, and home. She outlines how we can use yoga to cultivate resilience in challenging times, reduce stress, and enrich our relationships with family, work, and ourselves. This guide contains a 30-day program designed to create subtle yet powerful shifts in awareness and attitude that lead to real, lasting change. Whether you’re a hardcore yogi or a beginner to the practice, Yoga Mind can help you unite your body, mind, and heart to become your best self and cultivate lasting happiness in your life.

Differentiation is a practice that is beneficial to every student. Rather than focusing on leaving no child behind, differentiation aims to move every child ahead. The trouble for many teachers is, however, that differentiating for all students can be time consuming. Differentiation Made Simple will help classroom teachers overcome time constraints and other obstacles to differentiation by providing a wealth of ready-made and generic tools they can employ right away. The tools include task cards for literature, creative writing, and research; tic-tac-toe menus; graphic organizers; and guides to creating differentiated units—each one tied to specific questions and concerns teachers have about differentiating instruction. Also included are product lists and other assessment ideas, including rubrics and a scoring conversion table. Written especially for teachers in the trenches, Differentiation Made Simple will help unlock the door to creating a classroom where every child is challenged by work appropriate for his or her abilities, interests, and learning styles.
