in the family. It comes with a piggy bank and play money. In the book <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Ebenezer Opens a Savings Account,</u> </b>Ebenezer
earns money by helping his mom and dad at home. He isn’t sure what to do with
the money in his piggy bank, but his parents know what to do. They take him to

tries, and she tries, and she tries again, but she can’t seem to learn the

It
contains a few chocolates and sweet Easter treats, but the chocolate bunny and
Peeps are replaced with sun chips, raisins, and granola bars. In the book <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Tito’s Tasty Snacks</u>, </b>Tito and

snack, Tito tells his friends how much better they'll feel if they eat healthy

thoughtful writer in your bunch. It’s filled with notebooks and pencils. In <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>Esmerelda’s Speech</u></b>, Esmerelda

it's not. It's just a different version of elementary. There is no venemous
popular girl with her crowd. There aren't people hiding in lockers. There is no
huge kid pushing people into walls for lunch money. It's just normal.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
I got to tell you, I enjoy middle school lunch. I mean, we
have sooooo many choices! If you don't want a chicken sandwich you can get a
burger or pizza. Three different kinds! Pepperoni, buffalo chicken, AND
cheese! Not to mention, nachos with cheese, sour cream, meat and salsa. You can
mix and match. Aside from that, we also have different main dishes every day.
Plus, awesome snacks! I'm talking funnel cakes, soft pretzels, Minute Maid
lemonade bottles and cookies.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
Middle school is not just about food. It has a lot of
responsibility. You have to remember your books, your locker combo, and your
gym clothes and a different combo for that locker. You also get more homework
and projects. So it's not just fun and games. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
In conclusion, middle school is fun but hard work. Enjoy it
while you can!</div>

<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Everyone
has back to school jitters, but mine are about starting middle school. I'm
nervous about a few things. First, I will have to make new friends because most
of my old friends are going to the other school. You see, I only met them in fifth
grade because I moved from a different town. I was supposed to go to the same
middle school they're going to, but they changed me at the last minute. At
least my school is closer now so I get to walk.</span></div>

other thing I'm nervous about is getting to class on time. In elementary
school we really didn't have to switch classes. Now I will have to memorize
where my classes are quickly. I'm not sure if this is true, but I heard that we
may only have two or three minutes to change clothes for gym class! Have you
ever been worried about these things?</span></div>

<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I am
also excited about middle school. I am looking forward to walking to school
because I've never done that before. I am also excited that I
will have a locker to decorate and to make my own with pictures and a
calendar. Don't forget the glitter! Middle school also has way more clubs and
activities than elementary school. I want to try for drama club, band, student
council and maybe basketball. </span></div>

<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I
hope to be a straight-A student like I was in elementary school. Last

like cooking so I decided to make us some dinner. Another time my mom didn't
feel like cooking, I actually cooked fried chicken and mixed vegetables all by
myself! Mom said it was good. She liked when I made the burgers, too. When I
made them, this is what I did:</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
I feel the
leather and elastic of the jazz shoe on my foot. I can see the numbers pinned
on their chests. I can hear every heart in this room racing including mine. I
can taste the anxiety bouncing around the room. I smell the funk from everybody
sweating. The hardest thing I've ever done was audition for The Academy at my
dance school.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
First, let
me tell you what The Academy is at my dance school. It is the elite performing
group that competes and does special performances during the year. To get in
you have to do a solo audition. I had to make up a dance and it took a long
time and was very difficult. I got stumped, frustrated, and sad. The night of
the audition I was very nervous but went in there and did my best and they said
I did a good job.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
To get into
The Academy you also have to do a group audition. The problem is I was sick
that day and I almost threw up at school. I got sent home from school because I
was too sick but I still went to the group audition that evening. We had to do
ballet and jazz.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The hardest part was
the jazz. In the end none of my very hard work paid off because I didn’t even
get in The Academy. But I can always try again! Don't give up!</div>

<br />
After months of retooling, revamping, redrawing, and revisioning, I am pleased to announce the rebirth of Children’s Band Books.<br />
<br />
Allow me to reintroduce the kids:<br />
<br />
The five Children’s Band characters – Ebenezer, Esmerelda, Dezzi, Tito, and Dudley – attend Friendship Community Church where they learn to share their gifts with each other. Ebenezer is a young entrepreneur, Esmerelda is a future scientist, Dezzi is into the fine arts, Tito is all about health and fitness, and Dudley is deaf, but that doesn’t stop him from doing what all the other children do.<br />
<br />
The series includes five picture books, an activity book, and a music CD, all of which can be purchased on www.childrensband.com<br />
<br />
Ebenezer Opens a Savings Account: Ebenezer earns money by helping his mom and dad at home. He isn’t sure what to do with the money in his piggy bank, but his parents know what to do. They take him to the bank to open his first savings account.<br />
<br />
Esmerelda’s Speech: Esmerelda’s friends choose her to be the speaker during Children’s Band Day, but she is shy and is afraid to speak in front of a crowd. Her friends encourage her and help her get over her fears.<br />
<br />
Dezzi’s Dance Recital: Dezzi tries, and she tries, and she tries again, but she can’t seem to learn the dance step she is supposed to perform in her recital. It’s a good thing her friends are there to help her practice and cheer for her.<br />
<br />
Tito’s Tasty Snacks: The Children’s Band kids are hungry after playing in the park all morning. When it’s time for a snack, Tito tells his friends how much better they’ll feel if they eat healthy foods.<br />
<br />
Dudley’s Solo: Dudley is deaf, but that doesn’t stop him from doing what his friends in Children’s Band do. Even though Dudley can’t hear or speak, he joins the other kids at their choir concert. He even performs his own solo!<br />
