Cave Art Rocks at IDEAL School
Posted on: 2011-10-07
How do you bring the dinosaur era into art? By turning the school's art studio into a cave.
That's just what Art teacher, Eileen Kozyra did at the IDEAL Elementary School. Draping the drawing tables with cloths that looked like cave walls, dimming the lights, giving students flashlights and crumpled brown paper that resembled rocks students stepped back in time and created their own cave art.
'The children were so excited to work on their art projects in this environment and their creativity was amazing,' said Mrs. Kozyra.
All of the cave art is on display in the art studio of the Dream Middle School, the sister school of IDEAL Elementary.

Second graders get hands-on Social Studies lesson
Posted on: 2011-10-05
When Gerrianne Disney plans a Social Studies lesson she knows that talking about the concepts with her students is only partially effective. What she really wants them to do is experience the lesson in order to fully understand what they’re learning.
“For the past two weeks we’ve been studying about communities in class. It’s one thing to tell my students that a community is made up of a school, post office, grocery store, gas station and other businesses but it’s another thing for them to build a town based on the needs of people living there,” said Disney. “They really took the time to think about how to connect roads, intersections and even consider what businesses and services were important to include in their community.”
Second graders Adrien Araneo, Christopher Callaway and Ryan Stevens took on the important roles as city planners and helped their classmate ‘citizens’ lay out the streets, intersections and erect buildings using blocks and giant Legos®. Other students took on the roles of police officer to make sure classmates were following the rules, mailmen to deliver information to and from the IDEAL School office, and construction workers to do the necessary building.
Disney said, “The students aren’t going to remember the vocabulary from the lesson if all they do is memorize it. By creating a community of their own and fulfilling the roles of the people in that community they’re able to experience and understand the lessons and ideas in a meaninful way that will stay with them for a long time to come.”

IDEAL students go trunk or treating
Posted on: 2011-11-02
A new Halloween tradition was started this year at the IDEAL Elementary and Dream Middle Schools as parents decorated their cars for the schools’ first annual Trunk or Treat celebration. Over two dozen cars ranging from creepy to semi-spooky lined the schools’ parking lot. Students from each grade ‘oohed and ahhed’ as they trunk or treated from car to car.
“We’ve never done this before,” said Principal and Founder Wendy Soderman. “I’m amazed and delighted at how much effort the parents put into decorating their cars for this event.” Displays included a Disney theme, lots of ghosts and ghouls, and even a poison apple café.
After trick or treating from car to car students and teachers voted on their favorite Halloween theme. Susan Hughes, parent of kindergartener Adeline Hughes and first grader Allie Hughes, took first prize of four tickets to Lion Country Safari for turning her trunk into a mini haunted house. Second prize went to Mary Kay and Howard Wilson for their ghoulish trunk of skeletons, coffin and spider webs.
“I’m not sure who had more fun, the parents or the children,” said Soderman. “The parents are already talking about what they can do to make their cars look even better next year.”

Dog show a big hit at IDEAL School
Posted on: 2011-12-16
Last Friday was bring your dog to school day for the IDEAL Preschool students. The Dog Show was the conclusion of a week long lesson about canines, felines as well as wild, domestic and shelter animals. Dogs and puppies of all breeds arrived dressed to the (ca)nines in everything from tutus to sparkling collars. There was even a talent show where the pooches could show off their talents and their best manners.
Zander Burrell’s dog, Chloe, won top prize for best dressed in her Mrs. Claus outfit. But the show stealer was Apollo, Savannah and Isabella Main’s canine, who steeple jumped over fences like a professional competitor.
Preschool Director Heather Flores, who arranged the event, was thrilled with the turnout. “We had over 20 dogs and puppies at school and the students were so excited. They liked being able to show their classmates the furry members of their families.”
In addition to the dog show the students ran their own pet store and veterinary clinic. Said Flores, “This event was also great way for the children to show off their knowledge of the animals for their parents. We plan to do this again next year.”

FREE unlimited safe storage for photos in your mobile phone camera
Shall we take it for granted that you are a digital photo enthusiast? Our presumption is not without statistical backing – 87% of over a billion mobile phones will have cameras in 2010, according to Info Trends.

Between your digital camera and your mobile camera which is quickly accessible? Between your digital camera and your mobile camera, which is more likely to capture important moments? Yes, you would take out your digital camera when you have a big event or someone ready with a pose.
How about, when you dear one set about on a twirl, when your grand parent flashed a ‘new’ smile, when your toddler pulled off a new trick, someone at work uncorked the bubbly, or when you got lost on the butterfly stopping at your balcony garden. These are precious moments, aren’t they?
Sad, if you had to delete some of these to make space for something else, or lost all of them with your phone or, your phone just refused to talk to its memory one fine day.

About PPG
What are you doing with your photos today? This is the quest that the founding team of photo and imaging experienced professionals went to find out from the photo products (prints and gifts) markets in Asia -Pac. The answers were numerous, some relatively clear, a lot “not so sure.” The consensus was that the photo products consumer (B2C, B2B2C or B2B) in most parts of Asia Pacific does not enjoy quality photo solutions with globally prevalent cost efficiencies.Providers of high quality, creative, easy to use and affordable photo storage, preservation and social expression solutions are a handful and this creates a supply side constrained scenario (which very rarely benefits the consumer). This eureka moment (more a period of study) lead to the birth of Photo Prints and Gifts (PPG). World-class, affordable photo products and services to the Asia-Pacific region becomes a reality with PPG. PPG is a photo, web, and mobile communications medium that makes photo expressions creative, enjoyable, and effective.
