Lendl is very reluctant to get into any discussion on that, but said: 'You've been around enough, you can see what is happening on the court.'

He added with a smile: 'I can always yell back.'

Another, less obvious change after eight days at their first Grand Slam together is that he has changed Murray's preparation habits, advising him to train away from Melbourne Park in the peace and quiet of the Kooyong Club.

Before, Murray used to enjoy hanging around and shooting the breeze with his peers, but he has become lesser spotted during this tournament.

'I used to do it this way here, at the French Open and at Flushing  Meadows,' said Lendl. 'Any day that you don't come in here it takes less out of you mentally and physically. You don't have people tugging away at you. '

And in the evenings, it's not suffocating. They are not living in each other's pockets.

'Kim (Sears, Murray's girlfriend) is here, they do their own thing for dinner,' revealed Lendl.

Since the book was written for the younger elementary student, I geared the art lesson for 1st grade.  I created hat templates for the children to trace and decorate (sombrero, sunhat, cowboy hat, top hat, winter hat, etc). After tracing the hat onto a sheet of paper, the children then had a good starting point to draw the rest of their body. This turned out to be a perfect combination of literature, craft (hat decorating) and art (drawing and watercolor resist).

After doing this lesson a few times, I realized that instead of  using all the hat templates in one lesson, you can break the lesson down into seasons (winter hat art project, Fiesta, Summer Fun ,etc.) In a way, it makes it easier to help the students. This lesson is featured in my PDF Art Booklet, Art and Literature . It includes step-by-step tutorials, handouts and templates.

I'm glad you're here! I teach art to 400 kids at a K-6 elementary school in Goleta, California. You'll find hundreds of free, classroom-tested art lessons under "Art Lessons" in the menu bar. I also sell complete art lesson plans containing detailed tutorials, instructions and handouts. My art booklets are PDF files that you purchase on-line and download immediately. Enjoy your stay!

The timing of these lessons could not be better as I have 2 classes dealing with children's book art. I thought I had my 6 week line-up ready to go.(your Giraffes Can't Dance being one of my projects.) But I am always open for some last minute changes. (BTW – I am loving the lesson on those beautiful watercolor birds as well.)

Thank you and Happy New Year!

No problem. But can you send me an email with the date of purchase? Just makes it easier to find. I'm assuming it's PayPal.
