Where Did 2010 Go?

So much happened this year and nothing got posted to this blog. I guess I got a little side tracked with Facebook. I will have to work a little backwards if I'm going to record what happened in 2010. Because it was important. I guess I spent more of my time living it instead of writing about it. This was a big year.

Last March we went to Great Wolf Lodge - loved, loved, that place. Will get those pics up, soon. Kody received a silver in Special Olympic Basketball. Kody received 4th place in Special Olympics at State for the 100 meter dash and his team received a gold in the 400 meter Relay.

I started biking and biked all over Texas and Oklahoma. My farthest ride was in Waco. I biked almost 70 miles. We vacationed at my sister's in Oklahoma during the summer. I taught summer child craft classes.

We started the new school year in my new classroom. I have a full LifeSkills room with bathroom, changing room, and full kitchen with a washer and dryer. I also got a Smart Board. I made these awesome palm trees for my reading center.

I learned how to make homemade soap. So, now I've better get busy and start posting some of these activities before the New Year! Yikes!!!

Snow in Teague



2-11-2010

Child - Butterfly


A child is like a butterfly
in the wind.
Some can fly higher than
others.
But each one flies
the best it can.
Why compare one against
the other?
Each one is different.
Each one is special.
Each one is beautiful.

Snowflake - We used this as a Science Project for the Weather Unit

Crystal Snowflake

What You Need:

1 wide mouth jar
3 white pipe cleaners per snowflake
boiling water
borax (look in the laundry aisle for 20 Mule Team Borax Laundry Booster)
pencil or pen
String

Twist the 3 pipe cleaners together in the center to make a 6-sided figure (picture an X with a line through the middle). Trim as needed so that the snowflake will fit easily into the mouth of the jar. Fill the jar 3/4 full with boiling water. Add 3 tablespoons of Borax for every cup of water that is used. Stir until completely dissolved. It is ok if some of the Borax settles in the bottom of the jar. Tie the string to one of the ends of the snowflake and the other end of the string to the pencil. Dip the snowflake into the water making sure that the string is long enough to completely cover it with water. Rest the pencil across the top of the jar. Check to see that the snowflake floats freely not touching the sides or bottom of the jar. Let the jar rest, undisturbed overnight (at least 8 hrs). The result is a snowflake covered in shiny crystals!

Important: Adult supervision is needed when using boiling water and Borax. Please keep the Borax out of children's reach.
