Og heads to summer camp in the third book in the middle grade companion series to Humphrey--now in paperback! Og didn't know where he would end up when school was over, but it turns out Camp Happy Hollow is just about the best place ever. Lovely nature is all around, friends from Room 26 are there--including Humphrey!--and camp days are full of exciting activities. Og has lots of new responsibilities, like watching out for Humphrey, helping his fellow campers adjust to being away from home, and encouraging everyone to always try their best. But when one camper lets Og loose at the lake, he is in a tough spot. The lake sure does feel like home, but so does his tank. Plus his human friends need him--and so does Humphrey. Good thing Og has experience in the wild because--BING-BANG-BOING!--this is going to be one hopping summer! Og's frog's-eye view of summer camp is silly, caring, and adventurous--the perfect companion to Summer According to Humphrey.

′This book is encouraging, easy to read and full of inspirational ideas about how to introduce different topics for discussion. Methods to encourage and develop group dynamics are clearly outlined. For any secondary school considering introducing circle time, this book makes a good case in its favour′ - Youth in Mind Includes CD-Rom The circle time teaching strategy is used extensively and successfully in primary schools, but secondary settings often find it difficult to implement. In this book, the authors advise on how a circle time programme can be developed in secondary schools, involving both staff and students. Drawing on their experience of using circle time to deliver the PSHE and Citizenship curricula, they present a framework that that can be followed or adapted by other secondary schools. The development includes: - consultation with students - choosing the topics for the programme of study - lesson plans written in the circle format - recommendation for links within the wider school community and other agencies. A CD-rom is included, providing lesson plans, circle time games, and advice on inclusion, group work and strategies and approaches suitable for the secondary setting. The book also shows how the programme can be evaluated, taking into account the perspectives of the trainer, the staff and the students. Any secondary school practitioner looking to implement a circle time programme in their school will find this a useful and practical resource. Marilyn Tew is a freelance consultant, trainer and facilitator, specialising in the relevance of group work, emotional literacy and Circle Time to PSHE. Hilary Potter is currently researching in the field of emotional literacy and has extensive experience of teaching and training across a range of educational settings. Mary Read has taught for over 25 years as well as writing and working as a trainer nationally.

Og is ready for adventure and hopping at the chance to help kids be brave in the second book in the Og the Frog series, now in paperback! Og loves the kids in Room 26, but he's awfully curious about the human world outside his tank! His friend Humphrey has no problem getting out and about, but it's harder for Og because he can't climb the way a hamster can. But Og never lets hard work or fear stop him from going after what he wants. And he's determined to help the tads in Room 26 understand that taking risks can pay off--especially when they are being true to themselves. Whether it's learning that a younger kid can have great ideas, a student who learns differently can have hidden talents, or ideas that seem crazy at first can actually be amazing if you look at them from a different perspective, Og wants everyone to celebrate their talents. And once he fully embraces his frogginess--BING-BANG-BOING--he figures out how to go where no frog has gone before. Og's frog's-eye view of the world is curious, adventurous, and creative, and the perfect companion to Trouble According to Humphrey.
