Elephant
Here is a colorful elephant surrounded by jungle flowers of red and autumn red leaves blowing in the wind. I decided to color this elephant as an animal of royalty for the colors of blue, pink, red, gray, purple, etc. I colored the trunk of the elephant the traditional gray for a touch of realism. Since this is a jungle picture I made the elephant where it seems he is walking down a well worn path.

Dolphins
'Dolphins' the drawing is from an adult coloring book that I colored using colors from light blue, yellows, greens, gray, etc. I tried to lightly smudge some of the colors together trying to give a sense of being underwater. To be honest I think this is actually a picture that was of a huge aquarium for the small pyramid at the bottom. In coloring the blues for the sense of water I made the waves and bubbles darker than the rest of the water. I am also hoping that I colored the bottom for the dirt the right shade of brown. I am hoping for comments and sharing of ideas.

As the days grow longer and the warmth of the sun becomes a constant companion, the beginning of summer brings with it a unique sense of rejuvenation and anticipation. Itβs a time to shed the layers of winter, embrace the outdoors, and immerse oneself in the plethora of activities that this vibrant season offers. From beach outings to backyard barbecues, summer is synonymous with creating lasting memories with friends and family. One modern way to enhance these experiences is through the use of high-quality portable speakers, which can reduce stress and set the perfect backdrop for every summer adventure.

Sixth Grade
My sixth grade year was actually the start of my middle school/junior high years. This was the first year that I changed classes with each a separate teacher both male and female. I went from a 'grammar school' where my fifth grade stayed in one room to a building where we got to change rooms and learn in different ways. I mean one teacher still stood in front of the classroom while some teachers believed in group learning and doing various projects. It was a fun year for when seventh grade slowly approached there will be a new actual middle school.

Fifth Grade
On to the fifth grade when I had my first man teacher. This was my last year at one of the local elementary schools that my school district had at the time and it was a year that seemed to require more manners since we were the oldest students in the school. It was 1975 and I remember we actually got some new textbooks for science and health that were up-to-date. We were all just growing up and changing day to day as well as I think seeing others in a new way.

Fourth Grade
Who remembers fourth grade? This was the year that some called Upper elementary, and it did feel like we were not little kids anymore. The subjects got a little more detailed in the information presented and the homework got to be more presentable to the teacher. Fourth grade was the year of starting to really grow in many ways.

September
September the end of Summer and the beginning of Fall and my favorite time of year the beginning of a new school year. I was one of those people who liked new school supplies, new books, new teachers and seeing and catching up with school friends. September is also when Fall cleanups for started as raking leaves and maybe splitting wood for the fireplace with a sledgehammer and chisel. Believe it or not that was kind of fun at times.

Broken Thread
Quite a long time ago, in a curious town settled between moving slopes and murmuring streams, there carried on with a young lady named Elara. She was known for her delicate nature and her talented hands that could mesh the most mind boggling designs into texture. Elara's life rotated around her art, and she tracked down comfort in the musical dance of her loom.

Third Grade
So, what about third grade? This is the year that we really started with the new math so to speak. We are now entering multiplication from the threes through the twelves, fractions that include mixed and improper. There is a new subject in social studies known as history which is mainly the colonies and a little of the American revolution, but really only a taste. It was also the first year that we as students had our first achievement tests to see how we were progressing. My first third grade teacher was named Mrs. Bellstrom who for reason it seemed did not seem to care to much about me, but she became a mother and was replaced by Mrs. Donley who did like me and she liked the students to help her with little classroom chores to improve responsibility for we were no longer little ones, but growing up.
