This past summer, teachers had the opportunity to take part in the Lied Center’s Teachers Summer Workshop. At this day-long workshop, among other strategies and lessons, teachers were able to explore how the arts can be used to teach students about biological life cycles tied to the second-grade science state standards.

 

Learning About The Environment Through The Arts starts out on Sept. 23-24 with teaching artist Priscilla Howe presenting the first part of the program with an exploration of the lifecycle of the dragonfly through puppetry. Her program, Zip, Zoom And Hover: Learning About Dragonflies Through Puppets offers a creative avenue to discover the natural world. When students later examine the Baker Wetlands, they have the tools to understand dragonfly habitat, behavior and lifecycle, kinesthetically.

 

In October, when the second-graders take field trips to the Baker Wetlands, volunteers from Wetland Learners will provide experiential learning of environmental cycles, insects, water, weather and the role the Wetlands play in those cycles. 

 

Then, on Nov. 5-6, Pricilla Howe will return to visit the second-graders to discuss their Wetland tour and their observations. The class will have the opportunity to collaborate in creating a story about their experience at the Wetlands.

 

Finally, all second-grade students in USD497 (and other surrounding school districts) will be invited to attend a performance of The Very Hungry Caterpillar & Other Eric Carle Favourites presented by the Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia on Nov. 25. This program is presented in part by the Kansas Arts Commission, a state agency, and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, which believes that a great nation deserves great art.  For more information, please contact Lied Center Director of Education, Anthea Scouffas at n anthea@ku.edu This e-mail address is being protected from spambots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it , or 785-864-2795.

Fossil wing of a dragonfly ancestor, Oligotypus tillyardi.

Ceres, OK. Collected by Michael Montgomery, a good friend and field companion who has helped me a great deal with my work in Noble County. More information about the fossil insects of this area and Odonata (dragonflies and damselflies) can be found at his website, WindsOfKansas.com. To see the fossil insects of this area, simply click on "Fossil Insects" and scroll down to click on "Midco, Oklahoma (Noble County)."

The No Child Left Behind initiative has plenty of flaws, but the Democrats who are trashing it should take another look at the (KU-ALTEC) Reading First program. It is morally disgusting if Democrats throw out Republican programs that are good for children.

 

 

 

 

BioGEOgraphy-101:

PEOPLE, Places & changes over time ...

 

Who were the Lawrence, Kansas "heroes" ...

 

that inspired and challenged Brian McClendon as a lad?

 

  • Did his troop or tribe of peers explore the Wakarusa Watershed's wetlands wildlife habitats?

 

  • Were they his diverse hometown coaches, mentors and tutors who lived in the aura of Mount Oread?

 

  • Did he become the cumulative reflection of many folks who influenced his collaborative commUNITY's imagination PLACE?

 

How do we each H-E-L-P cultivate

 

our next great generation's shared sense of place, purpose and peaceful possibilities?

Usability elements of style ... What to do and not do to a web site.*

 

Respect the User

 

1. Use contact forms, not "mailto:"

2. Do not use frames

3. Do not fully Flash-out a site

4. Do write clean code (don't use FrontPage)

5. Avoid large images (always set images at 100%)

6. Restrict copy width to no more than 400 pixels

7. Use "last updated" on every page

 

Respect the Site

 

8. If you use a database, make it static (cannot grow and information does not shift)

9. Minimal CSS (font and size)

10. Use relative font sizes (-1, none, +1)

11. Avoid 1x1 background pixels (10x10 okay)

12. Include ALT labels

 

Respect the Next Builder

 

13. Make layout easy to follow

14. carefully plan the nomenclature and folder construction

15. Make sure folders cannot grow beyond 50 files/folders

16. Maintain and protect files used to create graphics (psds, pngs)

 

Respect the Medium

 

17. Accept basic layout is banner, left navigation, right update and bottom contact.

18. Accept that the layout will change: don't waste weeks on a design.

19. Don't assume resolution or monitor size: build for a common denominator (not your 23" Mother of all Monitors)

20. Test the site in more browsers than IE.

 

 

* The table above includes several elements that may require some explanation ... 

 

 

Emperor Dragonfly

An emperor dragonfly emerges from its larval skin. 

Unlike butterflies, dragonflies do not create a chrysalis and undergo complete metamorphosis. 

Instead, they undergo a series of small transformations until they finally develop into the imago—the adult, winged form.
