In The Power of Pictures book and companion DVD, Beth Olshansky introduces teachers to her innovative art-based approach to literacy instruction. Widely practiced in classrooms across the country, the model has been proven by research to improve literacy achievement with a wide range of learners, especially those who struggle with verbal skills. At the heart of her approach is the Artists/Writers Workshop. Through study of quality picture books and hands-on art experiences, students learn to visualize, "paint pictures with words," and ultimately create their own extraordinary artistic and literary work. The book and DVD explain how any teacher can successfully use this process to enable all students, particularly low performers, to make dramatic gains in both reading and writing.Binding Type: Paperback

Basic. Simple. Works.
Size: Medium Capacity
I've been wanting a toaster oven for simple stuff, like warming up frozen rolls, broiling an open faced sandwich, etc. Nothing fancy. Not looking to roast a chicken, bake a cake, etc. Just something for when a microwave won't do (you need crispy) and you don't want to heat up the whole kitchen by firing up a big oven (especially during the summer in Florida). This little appliance does the trick. Heats up instantly, no pre-heating. Melts the cheese on an open faced sandwich in just a couple of minutes. Has a crumb tray for easy clean up. The controls are super basic. I mostly use the toaster timer, which makes a hilariously retro ticking sound (apparently it uses an old-fashioned mechanical timer), and just watch through the glass window to see when things are done, since cook time is usually just a couple of minutes for what I'm doing. No digital displays or controls. Really basic. Which also means really inexpensive. Controls weren't immediately intuitive, but by "immediate" I mean that it took me all of a minute or two to figure out how to make the toaster oven do what I wanted. Simple. I already have a full-size oven for serious baking, so I didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars and take up a lot of counter space for a fancy appliance. This simple, small, inexpensive toaster oven is just what I needed -- basically a horizontal, enclosed toaster, just like I remember from the good 'ol days.

Perfect for College Students
Size: Medium Capacity
We purchased this for our kiddos at college. So far it has worked great. They are able to cook small meals and it toasts well. They even use it to air fry! It also cleans up well and you can't beat the price!

Great little toaster oven!
Size: Medium Capacity
Great little oven! Heats up quickly, gets very hot very fast. Unit is small so don’t plan on preparing large amounts of food. This is a very lightweight oven that takes little counter space. Do be careful NOT to touch while in use as it very extremely hot!

Love da' Mini Oven
Size: Medium Capacity
I LOVE this Mini Oven thingy.
And, for a while, I had this reluctancy to even purchase one of these for some reason. But now that I have one, convinced by my wonderful current roommate that this would absolutely be a necessity, I gave in and bought one!
What I really dig about this mini oven is that it lights immediately, it's fast, easy to use, easy to clean and efficient to bake, toast, broil!
