This woman was fined ten dollars for
refusing to move to the back of the
bus, where black people had to sit.
Blacks could not go many places
because of their skin color. This
peaceful protest in 1955 for civil rights
led to the Bus Boycotts and helped
end segregation in the USA.

Beautiful Handwriting Blacklines For Ages 4-7 ~ Students Trace, Copy and Compose
A Sequenced, Simple Curriculum For Print, Cursive and D’Nealian Writing!
Beautiful Handwriting was created in the classroom. It has been used for over 15 years.
Introduce correct formation when children are drawn to it—usually ages 4 - 4.5 for girls
and 4.5 - 5.5 for boys. Have small meetings and work one on one. Model the work. Begin
on the dot and whisper it as you trace it. Lines and dots are a road map to success.
“Written language can be acquired more easily by children of four years than by those of
six. While children of six usually need at least two years to learn how to write children of
four years learn this second language within a few months.”
Dr. Maria Montessori

Beautiful Handwriting Blacklines For Ages 4-7 ~ Students Trace, Copy and Compose
A Sequenced, Simple Curriculum For Print, Cursive and D’Nealian Writing!
Children recognize the alphabet and like writing it in order. It is what they know. Children
in their sensitive period for writing like to form letters on paper. Show them by tracing
over a line with the correct path. After years of watching children write with different
tools we recommend using Crayola markers. They’re colorful and glide across the
paper. Colored pencils are a good second choice. We recommend Nienhuis triangular
colored pencils. When a mistake is made the child covers it with a mistake sticker. We
recommend Avery brand small stickers cut into small strips for mistake stickers.

Stalactites
Stalactites are dripstones that hang

Stalactites are dripstones that
hang down from a ceiling like
an icicle. Water drips down a
hollow central tube. Minerals are
deposited and harden at the end.
They form from calcite, gypsum or
epsomite.
What Am I?
I am a dripstone that hangs down
from the ceiling. I look like an icicle.
Carbonic acid in water dissolves rock and forms cave passages. Caves take 30,000 to 60,000
years to form. They cover 10% of the earth and occur in temperate, tropical, alpine and
polar biomes. About 1/4th of the world’s people depend on water supplied by karst areas.
Human encroachment and pollution affect them.

Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, hatch from
eggs in freshwater streams and rivers. Young
are called fry. They feed on insects and live
in freshwater for about 4 years. They migrate
to the Atlantic Ocean and live in saltwater
for 4-5 years. Adults feed on fish and grow to
over 30 pounds. These fish are anadromous.
They return to the same place they were
born to spawn. They can live in fresh or salt
water. They do not die after spawning like
most members of the salmon family.
