About Shell Education Rachelle Cracchiolo started the company with a friend and fellow teacher. Both were eager to share their ideas and passion for education with other classroom leaders. What began as a hobby, selling lesson plans to local stores, became a part-time job after a full day of teaching, and eventually blossomed into Teacher Created Materials. The story continued in 2004 with the launch of Shell Education and the introduction of professional resources and classroom application books designed to support Teacher Created Materials curriculum resources. Today, Teacher Created Materials and Shell Education are two of the most recognized names in educational publishing around the world. The brief introduction in this entry in the Time for Kids series is packed with essential facts, thought provoking questions, and engaging illustrations about art. This is not a how-to book; rather, it is a solid overview of art that fills a nice general niche. A great first book in an art class for upper elementary students. Used Book in Good Condition
