CALENDAR
2011-2012
By Dr. Raymond J. Huntington
Your student is about to embark on the second half
of his or her high school career. It’s an important time—
and your teen’s last chance to enhance his or her resume,
raise those grades and prepare for the impending college
application process.
Junior year
Tip #1: Maintain GPA and/or improve grades. If your teen’s cumulative
GPA could use a boost, now is the time to buckle down. However, if
your teen’s GPA is strong, he or she should work to maintain those
good grades, even with a more challenging course load and busy
schedule.
Tip #2: Develop a schedule of challenging courses. Your teen should
meet regularly with his or her guidance counselor this year to be sure
he or she is taking the appropriate number (and level) of classes.
Tip #3: Get involved. If your teen has been getting settled in high
school these last two years, now is a good time to boost the resume
with meaningful activities. Help your teen discover who he or she is by
engaging in extracurricular experiences that will demonstrate his or her
commitment and passion to colleges.
Tip #4: Nurture teacher relationships. Letters of recommendation can
be a vital component of the overall college application package, so if
your teen has not developed good relationships with teachers yet, this
year is a good opportunity.
Senior year
Tip #1: Stay focused on grades. Colleges will rescind admissions
offers if they see a significant drop in grades senior year, or they may
put new freshmen on probation for a semester.
Tip #2: Get started early. The college application process can be a
time-consuming and stressful process. Planning ahead will pay off
later. Encourage your teen to be head of the game—start working on
the personal essay, take the SAT and/or ACT one final time (if needed)
in October or November, and give him or herself plenty of time to
develop the best application package possible.
Tip #3: Work on time management. Senior year is busy. It’s also a
good time to fine-tune those time management skills, which will be key
to your teen’s success in college and in his or her career.
Tip #4: Develop strengths. Selling oneself to colleges is uncomfortable
for many students, but it also allows students to learn more about their
areas of strength and weakness.
The college search process begins practically the moment your teen
starts high school, and while there is a long list of to-dos, there are
a few simple things your teen can do to ease the process. Staying
organized, making studying and homework a priority, and staying in
touch with the guidance or college counselor will make your teen’s final
two years of high school smooth and enjoyable.

For the first time, Macy’s is partnering with DoSomething.org, one of nation’s
largest organizations that helps young people rock causes they care about
by raising awareness, inspiring, empowering and celebrating a generation
of doers who recognize the need to do something, believe in their ability to
get it done and take action. As a driving force in creating a culture of volunteerism, DoSomething.org is on track to activate two million young people
in 2011. Beginning August 8–October 15, you can help raise money and
spread the word, by joining Macy’s and DoSomething.org’s “raise your
phone and rock your cause” campaign. Customers can visit Macy’s
mstylelab departments (formerly juniors and young men’s) to take part
in the scan-to-donate program that celebrates and rewards youth activism. In return, Macy’s will donate $1, up to a total of $250,000*, to
DoSomething.org. Customers who scan the code will trigger the $1 donation
and have the opportunity to find out ways to “ do more” in their community.
In addition to in-store efforts, customer’s can take part in a social media
activation that helps youths “Raise your thumb. Rock your cause.”
For every “like” on the mstylelab Facebook page, Macy’s will donate $1,
up to $250,000, to DoSomething.org. (*Total Donation of $250,000
includes in-store scans and online Facebook activations.)

Numbers
Can Tell Stories
If you’re looking for
summer ways to
engage your brain,
these books are
both absorbing and
entertaining.
by Meribeth C. Shank
Growing Patterns: Fibonacci Numbers in Nature
by Sarah C. Campbell, photos by Sarah C. Campbell and Richard P. Campbell.
First written about in India, the pattern of numbers found in nature and featured in this book is actually named
after an Italian mathematician, Fibonacci. Starting with a small photo of a seed, the text gradually leads readers
into a beginning understanding of patterns formed in the natural world. As this nonfiction book unfolds,
the author and her husband make intriguing and careful use of photos of plant and animal life to expand the
text, featuring the famous chain of numbers as spiraling shapes of building blocks.
Using blocks of boxes to demonstrate the pattern of increasing numbers, this compelling book shows spiraling
shapes in pinecones, pineapples, sunflowers and more. Campbell’s text shows the different number effects
created as parts of plants spiral first in one direction and then in a different direction.
Demonstrating the pattern using the outside sections of a pineapple, the author shows how these sections actually grow in three different directions and
can be counted as 5,8, and 13 in the familiar sequence. The author/photographer invites the reader/listener into her exploration and discovery of the literal
building blocks in creation. Boyds Mills Press, $17.95, Ages 5-11
How Many Donkeys? An Arabic Counting Tale
retold by Margaret Read MacDonald and Nadia Jameel Taibah, illustrated by Carol Liddiment.
Jouha, the famous wise fool or trickster beloved in many Middle Eastern cultures (called Goha in Egypt,
Hodja in Turkey, and the Mullah in Iran), is the main character in this retelling from Saudi folklore. Taibah,
and well-loved master storyteller MacDonald, collaborate to shape this tale from Taibah’s family. Although
variants of this folktale can be found in cultures as widely spread as Syria, Romania, Spain, Germany, Italy,
Hungary, Puerto Rico, Switzerland, India, and Indonesia, this Saudi version is especially amusing.
Before leaving for a market trip, Jouha asks his young son to help him count his donkeys loaded with dates
to sell. The Arabic words for the numbers from one to ten are included along the bottom of several double page
spreads, reading from right to left, perfect for children in a storytelling circle to count along with the storyteller/
reader. (A pronunciation guide is included on an early page.)
Enroute Jouha forgets to count the donkey he is seated on, especially when he stops for water, for lunch,
at the market itself, and sleeping on the way home. Someone is always there to remind him to “Count again,
Jouha!” Especially his son when he gets home and thinks he’s lost a donkey on the return trip.
Artist Liddiment uses bright colors in her sunny paintings, capturing the light and shadows as Jouha crosses the desert and arrives at the shady oasis
and later, the tree covered marketplace. It’s a silly tale, but one which young children love because, unlike Jouha, they can see the dilemma in the
illustrations, as Jouha gets on and off his donkey. Albert Whitman, $16.99, Ages 5-7
Mary’s Penny
by Tanya Landman, illustrated by Richard Holland.
In this feminist retelling of a traditional tale, award-winning author Landman sets her story in the “long, long ago, golden,
olden days.” A farmer father devises a clever plan for determining which of his two sons will inherit the farm. He does not
intend to include his daughter, Mary, in this competition, since “everyone thought girls couldn’t run farms.”
In this long past era, the value of purchases is quite different from today and each of the sons uses a penny gift from
their father to purchase something to fill the entire house. The eldest, Franz, buys a load of straw, but it’s not enough.
Neither is the load of feathers, bought by the second son, Hans. The family sleeps in the barn each night. And the farmer
becomes sad and anxious about what to do and what will happen to the farm when he is gone.
Holland’s mixed media illustrations supply important information; worried, relieved, happy facial expressions, bright red
and yellow accents to contrast with greys and tans, background details especially at the market, and a comedic sense of
timing. Adding to the book’s folkloric quality is the simplicity and lack of clutter in the double page spreads and the use of
multiple font stylings, including a strategic use of capitalizations, lower case letters and cursives.
Finally when Mary asks, her father reluctantly gives her his “very last penny.” After her trip to market and when dark falls
that night, she lights a candle and plays a melody on her knife-shaped river reed. The farmer takes her hand, speaking
quietly, “You have filled the house many times over . . . . You shall run the farm . . . .”
While this book makes use of simple math and money ideas, it also communicates that intelligence and wisdom require a different measure. Text and art
together craft a satisfying ending in this beautifully cadenced storybook with a “nugget of old wisdom” at its heart. Candlewick Press, $15.99, Ages 7-10
