GrandmaMoses

Anna Mary Robertson, known as “Grandma Moses” was born inGreenwich, New York on September 7, 1860. She was the thirdof ten children born to Russel King Robertson and Margaret Shan-nahan. She had a happy childhood and worked hard on the fam-ily farm. Her father would buy large sheets of blank newspaperand the children would draw. Anna would draw happy, colorfulscenes. Her education was limited as she could only attendschool in the summer due to the cold climate and her lack of warmclothing. At the age of twelve, Anna began earning her living as ahired girl at homes near their farm.

In 1887, Anna married a farm worker named Thomas S. Moses.They settled on a farm in Virginia. Having five children that sur-vived, they moved to Eagle Bridge, New York where she spent therest of her life.

It was here where she painted her first painting. The story goesthat she was wallpapering and ran out of paper, so she put upwhite paper and painted a scene later known as the Fireboard.Her earliest work used embroidery. She embroidered pictureswhat were greatly admired. At the age of seventy-six, because ofarthritis, she began to paint in earnest. Her early work was mostlybased on scenes she found in illustrated books.

In 1938, Anna’s paintings were discovered by an art collector,Louis Caldor. In October 1939, three of these paintings were ex-hibited at the “Contemporary Unknown Painters” show at NewYork’s Museum of Modern Art. Her first individual showing washeld in New York City in 1940 and she immediately became fa-mous. By 1943 there was an overwhelming demand for her Amer-ican Primitive pictures, partially because her homespun, countryscenes brought about wonderful feelings and memories for manypeople.

She quickly became known as “Grandma Moses” by the pressand the name stuck. On September 19, 1960 LIFE magazine cel-ebrated her 100th birthday featuring her on it’s cover. New YorkGovernor Nelson Rockefeller also proclaimed her 100th birthday

as “GrandmaMoses Day” inher honor.

Her paintingswere used topublicize manyAmerican holi-days includingThanksgiving,Christmas andMother’s Day.They werealso repro-duced onChristmas dards, tiles and fabrics in America. At the age of 100,she illustrated “Twas the Night before Christmas” by ClementMoore.

Crab Eating MacaqueIs Native To Singapore!

The Crab Eating Macaque is also commonly called the Long-tailed Macaque. Their scientific name is Macaca Fascicularis. Itis often referred to as the long-tailed macaque because its tail isusually about the same length as its body which distinguishes itfrom most other macaques. They are called crab-eatingmacaques because they are often seen foraging beaches forcrabs.

These monkeys are native to Singapore and are their most com-mon primate. They also are widespread throughout the islands ofsoutheast Asia and mainland Asia. Macaques are primarily abo-real which means they live in and move about in trees. They arefound today in primary and secondary forest areas, mangroves,swamps, plantations, and in the outskirts of towns and villages.

They prefer forested areasnear water and are foundin higher numbers nearriverbanks, lakeshores, oralong the seacoast.Macaques can leap dis-tances between trees toover 16 feet! They usetheir long tails for balance.

Macaques are social an-imals just like we are. Inthe wild, they live ingroups of 15 to 30 mon-keys. Each group, calleda “troop” is made up of adominant male known asthe alpha male and hisharem of female monkeys.The troop may include afew other male monkeysas well. Macaques spenda lot of time grooming

each other. Tothem, this is asocial activityfor developingfriendships.

These mon-key’s coats varyfrom light grey-brown to brownfur. They havea noisy, aggres-sive temper-ment. Thebody length ofthe adult mon-key is 15 to 22

inches with short arms and legs.The tail is usually longer than thebody at about 16 to 26 inches.Males are larger then females.Both males and females havewhite coloration on the eyelidsnear the nose. Macaques alsohave cheek pouches in whichthey can store food as they for-age, and transport it away fromthe foraging site to eat.

The macaque are frugivorous(froo-jiv-er-uhs) or fruit eating.During times of year when fruit isunavailable, they focus on in-sects, leaves, flowers, smallmammals and birds, shellfish andcrabs, as well as human left-overs.

The Violin!One of the best known instruments in the orchestra is the violin.

The violin can be traced back to Italy in the early 1500’s. The vio-lin was officially designed by Andrea Amati, an Italian lute maker.Amati was asked to build the violin as a lighter alternative to thelyre.

The violin is played with a bow. It is the highest pitched instru-ment in the violin family which includes the cello, the vass viol andthe viola. It is made up of the front, ribs, neck, fingerboard, pegbox,

the scroll, the bridge,the tailpiece, chinrest and the f-holes.It has four strings (G, D, A, and E )which are fastenedto the tailpiece, restover the fingerboardand run to the peg-box. At the pegbox,the strings are at-tached to the tuningpegs. By turningthese pegs, the violincan be tuned. Whenthe musicianchanges finger posi-tions on the strings,different notes aremade. The bow isdrawn across thestrings which soundthe tone.

In the 17th and18th centuries, thecraft of violin makingbegan. Artists such

Itzhak PerlmanIsreali-born United States violinist, Itzhak Perlman has been

noted as being among the leading violinists before the public. Inthe twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, no other concert vi-olinist hasachieved thewidespread ex-posure or popu-larity attained byPerlman.

Despite a boutwith polio at theage of four thatleft his legs par-alyzed, he wasa prodigy andmade his U.S.television debutat age 13 on the Ed Sullivan Show. Taking up residence in NewYork City, he enrolled in Julliard School of Music. There is stud-ied with Ivan Galamian and Dorothy DeLay. Recognition of hisgifts led to a highly successful career as orchestral soloist andchamber-music player, with scores of recordings. Blessed with apopular touch, he has appeared on television, played jazz andklezmer music, and involved himself in educating young musi-cians.

as Antonio Stradivarius, Giuseppe Guarneri and Jacob Stainermade them in their workshops. Antonio Stradivarius is responsi-ble for creating possibly the best violin in the world named afterhimself, the Stradivarius. Many professional violinists choose toplay this instrument and they can sell for millions of dollars.

At first, the violin wasn’t very popular and considered low sta-tus socially. But by the 1800’s, well known composers such asClaudio Monteverdi used the violin in operas. The violin began togain some stature in the Baroque period as more known com-posers began using the violin in their works. One of these com-posers was Johann Sebastian Bach. By the mid-18th century,the violin was a vital part in instrumental music. It wasn’t until the19th century that violin virtuosos emerged.

The game is played by rolling a ball down the lane in an ef-fort to knock down all the pins stationed at the other end ofthe lane. Each person is allowed two attempts per frameto knock down the pins. One game consists of 10 frames.The person with the highest score knocking down the pins,is the winner.

Here at NorthPointe Christian Elementary, we have a recycling program. The things we recycle are,drink pouches, applesauce containers, milk jugs, and Lunchable boxes. It’s a great opportunity for kidsto get involved with the school, and it is good for the environment.

Every day at lunch elementary students take their recyclables and put them in our recycling bins. Onceevery month the fifth grade student council empties out the bags of recycling. These students volunteerto stay in for lunch recess to count and clean the containers. The process of cleaning and counting thecontainers is simple. For the applesauce and the drink pouches you empty out the contents into the trashand count the amount of containers. Most of the Lunchables should already be clean, so you can justcount them.

The student council takes the bags of recycling to Terra Cycle, who gives us money for the recycling.The student council then gives the money to the NorthPointe PTO (Parent Teacher Organization), andthe PTO uses the money for the teachers to get better materials for their classroom.

NorthPointe’s recycling program is a great way for the school to earn money to get materials we needfor our classrooms. This program teaches kids to sacrifice their time to help the environment and theschool.
