NYC Campus Crawl – Zach

Some people settle into the background; Zach’s not one of ‘em. He’s a theatre major at Columbia, standing out both on and off stage, with cool hair and great style. We caught up with him at 116th in a vintage get-up – both the vest and buckle are thrift finds from his Seattle hometown. We’re loving the burnt orange floral button-down (a perfect color for Fall) and the Brooklyn-based Digby & Iona necklace (an exclusive and classy touch of bling). Hey, if you’re the lead man, you better look this good…

NYC Campus Crawl – Sophie

When the Fall leaves fall, well, it’s time to spruce things up a bit. And that’s just what Sophie did on Columbia’s campus last week, in a gorgeous and light floral dress. She topped off the bright look with a simple denim blazer and a comfortable pair of Tom’s – perfect for the walk across the City to class. We’re really loving her multi-necklace touch – most are unique pieces are from India, where Sophie studied abroad. It’s not easy to be the brightest of the bunch, but someone’s gotta do it.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be spotlighting style on campuses around the City. Sophie is a senior at Columbia University.

Education: Instilling a thirst for knowledge.(Features)

Western Mail (Cardiff, Wales) February 14, 2003 Byline: DAVID WILLIAMSON THE Western Mail’s Newspapers in Education project has found fans throughout Wales.

Teachers use newspapers to teach children a variety of literacy and numeracy skills with the help of a handbook designed to make lessons fun.

June Higgins, of Oystermouth Primary School in Mumbles, Swansea, has been leading her pupils in maths games based around the classified ads section of the paper.

Ms Higgins said, “They had to look at the ads and work out how much income the newspaper would make. website cool maths games

“The core curriculum element has been useful because they have got to think about literacy and numeracy and applied maths.” Other challenges include making graphs based on the temperatures recorded around different parts of the country. Mr A V Thomas of Llanwnnen CP School has used projects in past years and is enthusiastic about the current edition.

He said, “I hope it gets them aware of journalism.

“We’ve gone into the hi-tech age of computers and they might lose the capability of delving into a world of books and newspapers.” Mr T L Jones of Blaenau Primary School was also pleased with the opportunities for learning created by the newspapers. here cool maths games

He said, “I think it makes children aware of what’s going on. The children and teachers have been very impressed.” For schools, the materials are a cost-effective way of providing lessons in both English and maths.

Each project costs only pounds 1 per pupil. for this sum they get a workbook, a paper a week of their choice, and a badge and certificate at the end of the series of lessons.

The teacher also receives a guide to the activities and a book of photocopy-friendly worksheets.

In activities designed for the youngest pupils, the Wriggles family of worms guide children through each of the set of chal-lenges. A lively calculator named Digit also provides hints and advice.

Most schools have used the resource for in-class teaching.

But some schools have made it the basis of homework tasks and lunchtime clubs.

LA Sweetness – Jessie Webster

You’ve seen this sweet thing before, but this time Jessie’s rocking a new, more understated look. This West Coast transplant was kickin’ back on the steps in Soho when we spied her silver-sequined (taking a note from sparkly cutie Hannah) Topshop jacket, an attention-grabbing statement piece. She prettied up the metallic look with a butterfly-patterned top and blingy necklace. Jessie’s still wearing her fave fedora – and super sweet smile, of course!
