Crayon

The author says that when he thinks of an idea, “ I rush for a pencil, a crayon, a lipstick, anything that will write and scribble a few words…”(Dahl). One time the author was driving his car when all of a sudden he had an idea for a story, but he didn’t have anything to write with. He then got out of his car and wrote with…

them enough time to complete the lesson and emphasize that they can work at their own pace. Home-School Connection: Create a “Classroom Book Bag” using a baggie of foam shapes (all different sizes, shapes, and colors), drawing paper, a pencil, crayons, and parent directions. Tell the parents that in Creative Arts we are working on shapes and patterns. Have the students create shapes using the foam shapes and draw a picture of what they created. Please let them know that since this is…

a little different. From the clothes I wear and the way I present myself, to the way I look at the world, I’ve always been somewhat peculiar. Not peculiar in a bad way, but in an interesting, provocative kind of way. I am the weird greenish-yellow crayon in the box that no one ever uses. I was born in Anchorage, Alaska. My mom enrolled me and my sister into a Waldorf school where we spent our time building fairy houses in the woods, making slingshots out of twigs, and singing songs huddled…

At Episcopal Day School, we believe in teaching our students in a way different to the traditional classroom. Giving them more hands on experiences, we teach them skills to aid in their gaining of knowledge and truth. We also believe in teaching our students through God. We strive to give them all the skills necessary for whatever life tries to throw at them. This year we decided to build a high school to keep the success and knowledge of Episcopal Day School alive. Our High School will have all…

On September 16th, 2015 I went to Chippewa Elementary School in Holtsville, New York. I made an observation at the beginning of the day in Mrs. Carey’s Kindergarten class. The purpose of this observation is to observe and evaluate the human matters of sentiments, behaviors, standards and relationships between teachers and students within the classroom. When I first walk into the classroom it felt dreary due to the whole classroom having dark stained wood paneling on all walls, dark wooden…

I did a post almost 3 years ago "Air Travel With Your Toddler" that I still use most of the tips for and Madison at the time was only a year old. As you know, I recently took my pre-schooler to London. It was not her first flight but it surely was one of the longest in quite some time. We have traveled to the Caribbean quite a few times, where we have had long layovers and our entire journey took over 9hrs. Now while we've been traveling since she was 3 months old, it seems like the older she…

When Washington Irving was just 19 years old, he began his writing (“Irving, Washington”). Irving started young, and that was good for him. But, it was not the name Irving Washington that was getting the credit just yet. Irving went under many different pseudonyms. He was not just a short story writer, he also was an essayist, historian, journalist, and biographer. Irving is known as the “First American man of letters”, and “The creator of the American short story”(Bomarito). He explored many…

train teachers how to encourage positive emotional and social development. In the classroom, Luke and Margo showed signs of aggressive behavior as they verbally fought over a crayon. Luke had the crayon first, but Margo wanted to use it. In this situation, Mrs. Arling offered the solution of giving Margo a different crayon to use. While this settled the immediate argument, teachers may want to consider other ways to handle the behavior, especially if the behavior was more aggressive or even…

bathroom and sink, which to me seemed to be optimally placed due to the sink being close by for easy access. The art center consists of a square table with a few chairs around it, on the table was stencils, white paper, and a basket with washable paint, crayons, glue sticks and pencils. On the side of the table, two easels were set up with smocks hanging over them. Everything seemed to be in good condition and developmentally…

or holds its volume, or unfolds or contracts, has a lot to do with the clarity of its drawing.” The birth of his sculptures usually starts by large scale drawings on handmade Hitomi paper or Belgian linen using ink, charcoal or even lithographic crayons to make technical drawings, then proceeds to the construction of a small lead model from flat plates –lead as it is very malleable and easy to rework, except in the torqued ellipses where he began with wooden models. He then goes on to consults a…
