We thought we would give you a taste of what's coming! In the TRC Catch the Reading Express! programming manual, the elementary chapter is focused on the various cars that make up the train, such as the sleeper car, the animal car, the dining car and many other cars! Chapters include: * All Aboard! Stories about Trains - includes engineer's hat and shoebox train crafts in addition to highlighting great books such as Stormy's Hat: Just Right for a Railroad Man by Eric A Kimmel * Stock Car: Stories about Animals - includes making an ocean diorama complete with sea creature templates. Sharks and polar bears are also featured in programs around the books Surprising Sharks by Nicola Davies and Pair of Polar Bears by Joanne Ryder. The teen manual, Within Arms Reach: The Future is Yours, promises to deliver some excitement with the following: * Anime Clubs & Cons - a chapter focused solely on creating anime clubs and cons. Even Anahuac, Texas held an anime convention in May 2008 called "Ana-Con", so you can do it too! * Teens love to dream, so one chapter is full of dream catchers, dream lore and dream journals. * The Let's Get Digital! chapter includes a how-to on a Blogger <http://www.blogger.com/> online photo gallery and encourages teens to use some of the free online photoediting websites such as Picnik <http://www.picnik.com> , Fotoflexer <http://www.fotoflexer.com%20> and Lunapic <http://www.lunapic.com%20> . Both programming manuals will be released online by February 1, 2010 and will follow up with many posts before then so you know exactly where! <http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LibraryDevelopments/~4/NgKUvTTvOCM> You are subscribed to email updates from Library Developments <http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/librarydevelopments> To stop receiving these emails, you may unsubscribe now <http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailunsubscribe?k=OiSx1QdES0THNq8a7C9 _cevHqJw> .
