Comments
Thanks for all the great comments. I thought it would be more visible if I respond in a post rather than embed my responses in the comment thread.
A couple of people admired the cat picture I posted. That is Carmela, my bowl cat. She loves to sit in bowls, although baskets will do in a pinch. I also have Aimee (a sink cat), Daisy (a laundry basket cat), and GiGi (GiGi sits ANYWHERE GiGi wants!) Susan, I would love to see pictures of your cat!
Margie, Will, Denise and Andy – I’m glad you like(d) dy/dan. I go there for inspiration.
Debby, I like the idea of having a regular blogging day. Coincidentally, today is trash day, so at a minimum, trash day it is!
Bunny, thank you for the tip about Teacher Web blogs. I will check it out!
Angie, check out dy/dan’s lessons link to see some ideas he has for combing math and art. In particular, I remember a lesson on reflections. He uses an art project (making snowflakes) to teach that math concept.
Nicole, thanks for the feedback. I’ll see you Thursday!
BTW, I love the way I get to preview the comments before they are accepted for publication. I was worried about a student posting something inappropriate for fun.
