I did it! (Remember my Word of the Year? It's working!) My normal way of operating is this..... .....get a great idea and get all excited about it. ....gather all the materials needed to accomplish said great idea even if it means taking an entire day and a tank of gas to do so. ....get busy catching up the next day with the things I didn't get done when I was off shopping. ....put materials away because I don't have time to do the project right today. ...or … [Read more...]
Let’s Dance!
Some people just have "it".My 4 year old granddaughter brought all their nail polish (54 bottles) with her to my house. She said this was her homework. She played with them for about 45 minutes, sorting by color, size, and pretending they were princesses. So cute!You know what I mean?

I think we have all seen those creations.Love this wall that … [Read more...]

So, I thought I would share … [Read more...]
Book Cart
I have been reading books, and talking about books, and trying to get others to read books for as long as I can remember.As a junior high language arts teacher for years, one of my favorite challenges was turning kids who came into my classroom in the fall declaring, "I hate reading," into readers. I thought it was all about finding the right book and giving them permission to ditch a book that they just did not like.That is what grownup readers do, right?We all want to know things. Aren't we … [Read more...]
