A New Blogger to Check Out!!!!

I recieved a comment from Louise Isobel about how to promote her new blog. She didn't ask me to promote her blog....and  I don't just do a post on anyone...I want to promote something I feel is worth a look!  Louise's blog has an amazing niche that I feel needs representation in the art blog world!  She works with people who have special needs.  What I love is that she's finding lesson ideas from all of our blogs(as well as some of her own ideas), but then adapting them to her students!!!!!  This is something we can all continue to grow in I believe.  She doesn't have a ton of posts yet, but I know that this is going to be a great resource & inspiration.

Great Purchase

I always try to have my students that have special needs do the project that the class is working on (with modifications). However, an hour is a long time for them to stay focused & not distroy the work they are doing. So after about a half hour, I'll take the work from the special needs students, and give them the Mega Blocks to build with. THEY LOVE THEM!!!! The structures they've built are pretty amazing. I found these Mega Bloks at Wal-Mart.
