Draw Like an Egyptian

2011-06-07T08:16:00.000-07:00

Draw Like an Egyptian
Ancient Egyptian Art always uses a style called frontalism. This means that the head of the person is always drawn in profile with one eye drawn in full from a front view. The shoulders and chest are both seen from the front. The legs are turned to the side, in the same direction as the head, with one foot placed in front of the other. The head is facing straight ahead. The face is calm. The person stands or sits with a stiff posture.

To Draw a Picture of an Ancient Egyptian, Just Follow These Five Steps…

1. The Head
Draw the head and the neck from the side view. Add one eye from a front view. Outline it in black. Add an eyebrow that is curved and black. Draw the lips from the side view. Draw a black wig showing the ear.

2. Shoulders & Chest
Draw the shoulders and chest as if you’re looking at them from the front. The arms are drawn according to what the figure is holding.

3. Hips, Legs & Feet
The hips, legs and feet are drawn from the side view.

4. Skin Tone
Color the skin tan.

5. Clothes
Men wore short skirts. Women wore straight dresses that were held in place by two straps. Clothes were mostly white. Men and women often wore brightly colored jeweled collars.

Egyptian Tomb Adventure
Hieroglyphs means "sacred drawings" in Greek, and that's pretty much what hieroglyphs are. The Egyptians used them to write with from the beginning of anybody being able to write, around 3000 BC, down to about 300 AD. Between about 3000 BC and 300 BC, the Egyptians used hieroglyphics for all different kinds of writing. But after the Greeks conquered Egypt under Alexander the Great, people began to use the Greek alphabet to write the Egyptian language. Then hieroglyphs were only used for religious things (ta hiera in Greek), things that were too holy for the ordinary Greek alphabet, which is why they are called "sacred-drawings." By 300 AD, as people converted to Christianity, there was no longer any religious use for hieroglyphs, and they went out of use altogether.

Hieroglyphs are basically drawings of familiar objects, simplified to make them easier to draw. At first people just drew a dog or a house or a sheep; for example some early writing is just a picture of a sheep with five lines by it to mean "five sheep." Then people began to combine pictures, so that a picture of a sheep means the sound "sh"and can be combined with a picture of an owl "hoot" to mean the word "shoot," for example (only in Egyptian of course, not in English really!).

Expansion Project Fundraiser

2011-03-06T20:34:00.000-08:00

New Expansion Project Fundraiser - March 25-27 & April 1-3
At first this was slated for just March 26, but it has expanded to two week-ends in a partnership with GraceArtsLive performers and staff: Telesis Families and Friends are invited to a concert by Eric Kunze (pronounced "Koon-zee") and Gina De Luca, students of none other than our very own Grace Ann, who has offered to share a portion of the profits of 6 concerts to assist with our Expansion Project. Eric and Gina run Big City Broadway, which is affiliated with C.C.A., the California Conservatory of the Arts, a pre-professional training ground in the arts for talented young people, grades six through twelve. They have performed on Broadway and produce a concert of Broadway hits called "Broadway's Best." That is the concert they will perform on stage at GraceArtsLive theatre with one difference: Eric has offered to come to Telesis to teach Intermediate students several back-up songs that, with parental permission, they will accompany him on stage. Check out Eric's website at www.erickunze.com. Tickets will sell for $25 for adults and $12.50 for children

Dear Parents,

I would like to share with you a wonderful new program that I would like to begin using in our class this year. It is called Mouse Mischief by Microsoft. Mouse Mischief allows me to add multiple choice questions into my PowerPoint presentations, allowing me to create interactive presentations that engage all students. The students can work as teams or individually to answer questions. Using this program would allow me to see who understands the topic that we are working on and who may need a little practice. The program Mouse Mischief itself is a free download from Microsoft. The only equipment needed for this program is wireless mice.

You can visit their website at http://www.microsoft.com/multipoint/mouse-mischief/en-us/default.aspx

This year our school is on a very tight budget so, I am writing to ask for donations of wireless mice for our classroom. I would need a class set of 18, which each class would share. Specifically, I am asking for the Microsoft Explorer Mini Mouse. Currently it is available on Amazon.com & Walmart.com for $15.82 and at Staples for $29.99 (item #770333).

Thank you for your time, and whether you are able to give or not, know I deeply appreciate your dedication to your child and our school.

Thank you,

Mrs. Dana Mills

Week of August 31 to September 4

2009-09-01T15:12:00.001-07:00

Happy Week 3!

Math Facts:
Our focus for the week is addition review 2. Make sure any missed or incorrect problems are written out 3 times each for homework.

1st Years:
This week we are working on multiplication. We are multiplying whole numbers 2 digits by 2 digits and 2 digits by 3 digits. We are also working on multiplying multiples of 10.

2nd Years:
This week we are working on adding and subtracting positive and negative numbers.
Here are some notes we took in class:

positive + positive = positive
negative + negative = negative

Subtracting a negative is the same as adding.

Subtracting a positive or adding a negative is SUBTRACTION!

2 like signs when subtracting = positive
2 unlike sign when subtracting = negative

AS ALWAYS PLEASE ASK FOR HELP IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. I AM NOT A MIND READER. NOT UNDERSTANDING IS NOT A GOOD REASON FOR NOT DOING YOUR HOMEWORK.

Week of August 24 - 28

2009-08-24T14:24:00.000-07:00

Welcome to week 2!

Math Facts:
This week we are going to continue on our math facts review. Our focus is review of addition facts. Monday thru Thursday the class takes a 60 second practice test with 40 problems. Any problems they miss, they will have to write 3 times each for homework.

1st Years:
We will begin working on Unit 1: Number and Operations. This week we have Lesson 1: Multiplying Whole Numbers. When you multiply, the numbers being multiplied are called factors, and the answer is called the product.

2nd Years:
We will begin working on Unit 1: Number and Operations. This week we have Lesson 1: Integers. Integers are whole numbers and their opposites. Integers can be compared using a number line. As you move from left to right on the number line, the numbers are ordered from least to greatest. All negative numbers are less than zero. Use <> to compare numbers.

WELCOME BACK!

2009-08-17T21:00:00.000-07:00

This is the last week of the semester, can you believe it is here already. This will be a wrap up week trying to make sure we have as many objectives mastered as we can. We will also be working with decimals this week. And, as always, we are continuing our work with our math facts.

Here is a cute poem that I found about decimals by Grandpa Tucker:

Big D
It may come as no surprise

We decimals are line up guys.

Plus and minus will turn out fine

If you will form us in a line.

To add and subtract all you must know

Is to keep us dots all in a row.

Don't worry what's on either side

If you line us up we'll march with pride.

When I am under the division sign

Put a dot above me on the line.

If there's no number to our right

No need to worry through the night.

Just use a zero in each empty space—

Don't move us, cause we're in the right place.

Keep the two of us in a little stack.

In division we go piggy back.
Multiplication with us gets hairy,

That's then we are a little scary.

We do a slide step, then a bow,

Listen up, I'll show you how.

First multiply and forget we're there

Leave us out and we won't care.

Do you have the answer?

Let's begin:Here's the way to put us in.

Above the line start at each dot,

Look to the right, see what you've got.

Count up the spaces there on the right

Add them all up and hold the sum tight.

Now use the slide step, just start on the right,

Remember the sum, keep that number in sight.

Slide past that many, stop and now bow.

Drop the point there, now you know how.

Yes, decimals are usually line up guys

But for multiplication we apologize.

Learn to use us, we're all you've got:

We're America's only number dot.

Have a SAFE break!

MALC falls to TigersTelesis/Lake Havasu Charter sweeps in volleyball win

By DAVID BELLTODAY’S NEWS-HERALD

Tuesday, September 9, 2008 10:53 PM MST

Control at the service line proved to be the winning difference for the Lady Tigers.Coming off a loss at Kingman Academy of Learning last week, the volleyball team from Telesis Preparatory Academy, Lake Havasu Charter School and home schooling swept visiting Bullhead City Mohave Accelerated Learning Center 25-10, 25-18, 25-21.“The areas we needed to work on we had covered this time,” said Lady Tigers head coach Amy Webert. “This time, they attacked.”Tigers’ Erica Quebral had seven points off the service line in Game 1, including 2 aces. She added another three with an ace in Game 2. Meanwhile Victoria Guzman added six services points in Game 2.In Game 3 the Lady Patriots made a mini-run, getting within three late. But the Tigers’ Emily Kuczynski served two in a row and had the final kill for the victory.“That felt amazing to be in that position to win it,” Kuczynski said. “”They were a good team and they played hard. We just played harder.”The Tigers get to serve up another dose of home cooking this week, when they face the Scholars Academy Thursday at the Lake Havasu City Community Center.“We’re going to work on maintaining momentum for the next game,” Webert said. “And I’m going to have our veterans working with the younger girls.”Game time Thursday is 5 p.m.

Congrats Lady Tigers

Nice job girls! Keep up the great work.

Intermediate Work List

2008-08-30T23:16:00.000-07:00

The intermediate work list is a tool used to help the students know what and when daily assigmnents are due. It is a tracking system they use every day. The teachers will initial the assignments once they are done and corrected, if necessary. If a teacher's initial is not on the assignment, the student either needs to do the assignment or correct the assignment. The students are expected to write their assignments on the worklist every day. At the end of the week, parents are expected to sign the back of the worklist and then return it Monday so the students can receive their pay checks. If the worklist is NOT signed, they do NOT receive their work money.

PARENTS, PLEASE SIGN THE WORKLIST EVERY WEEKEND!

We, the staff, are really trying to help the students become responsible working students. You, at home, may need to remind your child to show you his/her worklist to be signed. We hope this will help you understand the importance of your signature on their worklists.
