Bibliotherapy Education Project

The Bibliotherapy Education Project database helps teachers, counselors and others working with children identify books that they could use with children and adolescents who are experiencing one or another difficulty, such as dealing with parental divorce, bullying at school, drug abuse, etc. Here is the URL: http://bibliotherapy.library.oregonstate.edu/reviewsearch.php

There's Light at the End of the Tunnel

I wanted to wish all the students here at UWO the best of luck in completing your papers and preparing for finals.

Incredible Poem by 2nd Grader

Quiet, Please!
A sound of a pin dropping
A sound of someone whispering in my ear
A sound of tumbleweeds rolling about in the desert
The sound of the wind communicating with the trees
A sound of a church mouse running down the aisles
The sound of quiet when the music plays in Ms. Smith's room
The sound of a plane soaring high up in the air.

-Jennie McCabe, grade 2
