New School Year: Words of Encouragement

                                                                               Image: Google Images


Hello Oh To Be Members!

It's back to school for the 2013-14 school year!  Hope it is going well so far.  Here are a few survival tips I put together to help you on your way to another successful year:

• Eat a healthy breakfast every morning before school. (Helps your brain work!)

• Make time to play every day. (Thirty minutes of moving your body will help your body and brain stay healthy!)

• Set a time limit for electronic activities like the computer/Internet, video games, and talking on a cell phone. (Balance between school, family and friends, and electronics is very important for a healthy brain!)

• Complete and turn in your homework and projects on time. (It will help your brain get stronger... And it will make your teacher really happy!)

Remember, it's a new year and new grade so it's going to be challenging.  Just remember to try your best, use all the tools you need to succeed, and most of all, have fun learning!

You can do it!

Arts and Crafts: 3D Letter A

Dear Oh To Be Members,

By popular demand, here is a little tutorial (lesson) on creating 3D letters!

***DISCLAIMER: Do NOT display 3D letters on public facilities.  Graffiti is vandalism and vandalism is a crime punishable by law.  These letters are intended for personal use ONLY.***

Letter of the Day: A

-Aloha (Hello!)
-America (United States)
-All-Star Students (Go Pumas!)
-Author's Purpose (Persuade, Inform, Entertain, Explain)
-Apostrophe (Grammatical Marking)
-Addition (Opposite/Inverse of _______)
-Atom (Basic Unit of a Chemical Element)
-Among the Hidden (Shadow Children, #1) (4h Grade Novel)


How To Make a 3D Letter A: Step By Step

Step 1:
Gather your supplies.

Step 2:
Practice writing the letter A on a lined piece of paper.

Step 3:
Try practicing other letters to help prepare for future tutorials!

 

Step 4:

Switch to using a plain piece of paper and practice writing the letter a little larger.

Step 5:
Draw an outline around the letter A.

Step 6:
Finish drawing outline around entire letter.

Step 7:
Practice drawing a 'block' letter A (only the outline) in different styles.

Step 8:
Decide on the style you like best and start making it 3D by drawing a couple of lines starting from the left and corners.

Step 9:
Connect the two lines you just drew.

Step 10:
Draw more lines from the corners of the letter.  Draw the lines in about the same direction (Southwest).

Step 11:
Fill in the spaces.

Step 12:
Sit back and admire your work!

In honor of the recent holiday, try to create a few other letters and connect them together -- take a look!
