When I taught preschool one of the most exciting themes for my students was our Construction & Buildings unit of study from Creative Curriculum. They just loved playing with blocks, pretending they were construction workers and using the toy tools. Construction & Buildings unit I'm sharing pictures from my archives of some of the activities

Our community theme is one of my favorites because there are so many fun things we can do. I could probably spend a month on this theme exploring lots of jobs, places and community helpers.

After several years of painting Maine lobster boats, I realized that it would be very helpful to work from a scale model of these boats...particularly forthe rough water scenes. I try to get to Maine as often as possible, but all my actual painting is done in North Carolina, and there are times I need to changethe attitude of the boats for my paintings. I began to inquire about plans of these boats, and wrote every nautical museum in New England to see if theywould sell plans of the Jonesport-Beals Island type lobster boats. I quickly learned that no plans were available. Many of the older boats were not builtfrom plans. You will find this true of working boats on the Chesapeake or Harker's Island, North Carolina. Oddly enough, these people had the skill tomake these boats without plans. At one time, nautical historians such as Howard Chapelle recorded the plans of American working boats in books such ashis classic, American Small Sailing Craft, but, with few exceptions, there does not seem to be a historian taking the lines of these boats today . As aresult, some of our classic boats are lost to historical record. Not having a plan available with which to construct a scale model, I realized I would have to draw my own plans as near to scale as an artist's eye wouldallow. On my last trip to Maine, I found one of my favorite lobster boats hauled out, and for sale at Great Wass Island. The old boat was in terriblecondition. I had first seen the Maria Elena in the late 1970s on my first trip to Maine. At that time, it was still a beautiful boat, and I related to it becauseone of my favorite songs during World War II was a song titled, Maria Elena. Now, the boat sat on dry land and seemed to sag in it's cradle...wearyfrom years of hard use. Knowing this was my opportunity to record a classic boat, I made 35mm photographs of the boat from every angle....Straight on,from both the transom and bow, direct side views from port and starboard, and detail shots of everything required to make a believable scale model. I must add hear that I have been building models since I was ten years old. However, all of these models were airplanes. Some, were gliders,rubberband powered, controline speed models in World War II ( powered by the beautiful Bantam engine), powered free flight models which would oftendisappear directly overhead in a clear blue sky, and six foot wingspread gliders which would often thump into people when I flew them in a nearby park.Eventually, I progressed into radio control models, and won the North Carolina scale championship with a British SE5-A which I had rigged to drop abomb. In the 1960s I built a scale P-51 Mustang that had every feature of the real aircraft including retracting landing gear. I felt sure I could build a scalelobster boat. From the photos, I came up with a passable set of plans. The Maine lobster boat has a round bottom much like a canoe, and this is the most difficultarea to deal with on a boat. Each section ( or former) of the boat has to be designed so that the planking fairs smoothly onto the next section in themanner of the actual boat.....in doing this by eye, you can appreciate the problem and challenge of building a full size boat. Eventually, I had the sectionsfaired so that the 3/16
