Primer of Educational Wisdom: Six Bees for Children Published by Outskirts Press
Author and career educator Dorothy Sweet Calhoun offers a primer of “life wisdoms” and guiding principles to help children make right decisions, be responsible, and make and achieve their goals for success in life.
Grand Prairie, TX, August 11, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Author and retired educator, Dorothy Sweet Calhoun announced today the release of Six Bees for Children, A Collection of Educational Wisdoms for Children, published by Outskirts Press. Calhoun’s hands-on, full color manual helps parents, teachers, homeschoolers, grandparents and principals show children the value of six fundamental life concepts that lead the way to a happy, confident and successful future as adults.
Calhoun brings six honey bees swarming her young readers’ way with basic messages about life which will help them be decisive, be responsible and, ultimately, be successful. Bee Smart, Bee Safe, Bee Honest, Bee Respectful, Bee Happy and Bee Successful are the industrious characters the author uses to entertain and instruct young children in core life values.
With more than three decades of experience in the classroom, Calhoun knows that preparing a student early is essential for an adult life filled with happiness and peace. By nurturing and practicing the six principles in Six Bees for Children, young students can build their personal foundations for success.
While the manual is designed predominantly for parents, grandparents, teachers, principals and homeschoolers to use one-on-one with students in kindergarten through grade five, older children as well can use the guide to either refresh themselves on these basic precepts or, in some cases, to be introduced to them for the first time.
Calhoun’s guide will help parents and educators instill self-discipline, inspire good decision making and reinforce the image of a successful life in both young and older children who today are so in need of these basic guiding principles.
