Pre-K through 5th graders meet once a week for 40 minutes.
THEME: BEACH
I hope you all get to go to the beach this summer and enjoy the warm sun, sandy beaches and cool water. This week have fun drawing a beach scene. I put all of them together in case you wanted to challenge yourself or simplify a drawing. You can even make up your own. Have Fun and share it with me if you can.
Pre~K~1st;
2ND~3RD GRADE; 4TH~5TH GRADE:
*A beach is a land form that is located close to a body of water.
*Beaches are made up of sand, gravel, shingle, pebbles or cobblestones or sometimes shells.
* Beaches can come in many different colors such as: white, gray, gold-yellow, brown, red and black.
*The tallest sandcastle is 57 ft 11 in tall, and was made in Binz, Germany, on June 5, 2019.
It took a team of 12 sculptors and 8 technicians 3.5 weeks working 8 hours a day to complete the sandcastle. It took 11,000 tones of sand mixed only with water.
*If you really want to have an awesome time at the beach, then look for a beach that has a Blue Flag status. They are in most countries around the world. This means that they are safe, the water quality is great and there are heaps of things to do.
*A lighthouse is a tall building that has a light near the top. Lighthouses are built on the coast of an ocean or lake. Ships rely on lighthouses to warn them of danger and to guide them to land or a harbor. A traditional lighthouse is a tall, rounded tower on land near a coast
*Oldest Standing Lighthouse in USA - Sandy Hook Lighthouse, New Jersey at the entrance to New York Harbor. Built in 1761-64.
*18 lighthouses Of New Jersey's 18 lighthouses, 11 are open to the public and located in some of the most picturesque areas in the state.
*The first lighthouse was Egypt's Pharaohs of Alexandria, built about 2,200 years ago and is One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
The lighthouse of Alexandria had a fire at the top to signal the port entrance.
Many earthquake have ruined the lighthouse however a new lighthouse has been built in its place.
Challenger Deep, about seven miles below it
THEME:CAMPING
Camping is a leisure activity, usually during summer when school children are on vacation, where people leave their homes and spend one or more nights outdoors. Usually they seek nature, adventure, or a different environment. They may sleep in a camper van or trailer, a tent, or in the open air in good weather. Winter camping is less common but in some parts of the world, tents are people's homes year around.
Fun Facts about camping...
1.The most popular camping gear purchase is a flashlight.
2.On average tent users camp for 2.5 nights.
3. The U.S. Department of Defense is one of the world's largest users of tents.
4. The 1927 Girl Scouts manual featured the first official recipe for S'mores
5. 14% of the U.S. population, go camping each year
6.The Clayoquot Wilderness Resort in Vancouver Island, Canada, is the most expensive camping
spot in the world. A single night costs $3,900.
8.One of the most effective ways to reset a person's natural clock is to go camping.
9.Crickets can calculate the temperature
You don’t always need a fancy gadget to tell you how hot or cold it is. During the spring and summer months, you can calculate the temperature by listening to a chirping cricket. Simply count the number of chirps you hear in 14 seconds. Then, add 40 to that number to find out the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit.
This week draw a camping scene. How fun either following my step by step drawings or you can make up your own. I continue to love to see your awesome drawings. They do not have to be the drawing that I suggest you draw. They can be any sketches that you are doing at home. Have a wonderful week and I hope you get an opportunity this summer to go camping!

FAIRY TAIL WEEK
A fairy tale is a story, often intended for children, that features fanciful and wondrous characters such as elves, dragons, goblins, wizards, and even, but not necessarily, fairies. Like all stories, fairy tales are meant to entertain, but that's secondary. Unlike today's novels, their main purpose is to give a moral in a way the audience will remember. They exist to teach a clear lesson. I am sure many of you have either read or have had someone read to you some of these most popular fairy tales. Some of the most popular fairy tails are
Thumbelina, The Princess And The Pea, The Gingerbread Man, Rumpelstiltskin, Puss In Boots, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack And The Beanstalk, Goldilocks And The Three Bears, The Ugly Duckling, And Rapunzel. .

This week we are going to focus on Memorial Day.
Memorial Day is a Monday and it is a day to remember all the soldiers whom have fought for our country. Did you know that Memorial Day was also called Decoration Day. It was called that because people would decorate tomb stones with flowers and flag of people who have fought for our country. Today we still decorate tomb stones with American flags and flowers in remembrance of those that have passed. Some go to parades, or picnics or even go to see fireworks. Please remember to thank a
veteran this week or honor a fallen soldier!
Pre~K~1st:
When I think of Memorial Day I think of several images that represent the USA. The American flag, an Eagle, Statue of Liberty, our National Anthem, and fireworks are just a few images that come to my head. Today I would like you to draw an image that reminds your of our county and Memorial Day. I have some suggestions for you to try out or you can come up with your own.

In Art class Mrs. Gallagher would like you to focus on line drawings using the step by step process.
This process can be found on any website by using the key words "step by step drawing" in a search engine.
Find a drawing that you think you can draw and that you like and is slightly challenging. If time allows after
the drawing is complete use either crayons, colored pencils, pastels, or markers to color in the drawing.
Some sample websites are:
Students can also search "step by step drawings" in Pinterest to help find their favorite images to draw.
