November Links
Each month the Rose Garden will recommend
four world wide web links.
These links are categorized as follows:
- Link of the month
- Hamilton, Ontario link
- Children's link
- World Issue link
In the long dark evenings of November
it's great to cozy up with a blanket and a couple of good videos.
The Movie Database offers information about over 200,000 movie
and TV titles, and over 400,000 actors and directors. The site
has a powerful search engine that allows you to access information
by the name of the film, character, director or actor. Links
to movie reviews are also offered, so you can see if anyone else
shares your opinion about the stinker you just watched!
French immersion programs have mushroomed
across Canada over the past several decades. Bilingual education
is an increasingly popular option for parents. The benefits and
opportunities - in Canada and across an increasingly interconnected
world - are appreciated as never before. Canadian Parents for
French is a national organization with provincial and local chapters
which support parents of french immersion and core french students.
The Hamilton Chapter web site contains information about Hamilton
FI schools, special events and workshops as well as an overview
of the benefits of french immersion.
This site has evolved from the PBS children's
program of the same name. Donna Erickson has produced a host
of imaginative, colourful and fun family entertainment and recipe
ideas. The site features highlights from the show's first two
seasons: from wacky bubble brew to homemade ice cream. Let your
imagination run wild.
Any parent will tell you that a peanut
allergy is no laughing matter. Peanut allergy.com is a complete
guide to what it means to have a peanut allergy and how to manage
it. The site offers support groups, free e-mail updates on allergy
alerts, discussion boards and issue pages ranging from school
support to airline travel. Think twice before you pack that peanut
butter sandwich in your child's lunch.
