Wonderful painting by French Artist Rosa Bonheur - 1 views

  •  
    This painter is one of my favorites. She was one of the few women painters of her day who was acclaimed in her own time.

    I love to experience the work of different artists. My favorite Artist is actually Thomas Kinkade. I think it is because he is known as the painter of light.
  •  
    Are you familiar with Mary Cassatt? If not check her work out. I enjoyed Rosa's work - thanks for the link!

    I am very familiar with Mary Cassatt. She is usually the only woman painter included in articles about Impressionist painters. I think her work is wonderful! Thomas Kinkade is a very successful artist. Isn't it great to be able to look up paintings on line? The only bad thing is that sometimes the photos don't catch the color as well as the genuine article. I am hoping I will able to go to Chicago sometime this year to visit the Chicago Art Institute. They have one of the largest collections of Impressionist art in the world. The first time I went there I almost cried. I was so startled by the actual beauty of some of the paintings that I had seen many times in pictures. I also really like Renoir and Monet. I think the more paintings I see, the more artists I like.

      I do this with my Girl Scout groups and the girls are very receptive to listening to the stories. It seems to relax them. My only problem, I have little interrupters that like to tell me about their dog which was triggered by the dog in the book.

      I have this book too. I really like some of the activities in it. I also purchased the Teacher's Edition to go along with it.

  • The Ugly Duckling

      I read this as a child and I loved it. I never thought of this as a "bully" book.
    • Amy Zimmermann
       
      I never did either but now that I think about the book, it really does show bullying behavior of making fun of the "duckling" and leaving him out. I just covered bullying again with one of my groups. Would you believe that all 15 girls have been bullied?

      I would love to read this again. Our daughter was a victim of bullying last year, it was miserable! It makes me mad as a parent but also very sad for the one who is doing the bullying. An eye opening experience.
  • Crash by Jerry Spinelli
    • Jill Vivant
       
      We are currently reading this book in our 6th grade class, a very good book for that age group!

      I love this book. My children love the Berenstain Bairs. It's great to see a fictional character go through these situations so they know how to handle it if it happens to them.
  •  
    I need to bulk up my library! This is a topic that needs to be discussed in schools on a regular basis to keep the topic fresh in their minds.

    I will be doing my mentor program at this STEM school. I'm really excited to be apart of what they do there, very cutting edge.

    What struck me immediately were the school hours- 9:30- 4:00 would be a dream for my kids! As it is they are up at 6:30 and out the door by 7:10. Too early. That looks like a great place. What is your area? was it science?
  •  
    Nate what teacher are you working with there? My twins are both in Mrs. Kania's class. It is a great school!
  •  
    My mentor is Matt MacPhail, he is a 6th grade teacher. It's so cool what they do there as I'm sure you know first hand.

Top 10 Best Minnesota State Elementary Schools - 5 views

  •  
    This is a great tool to find out how different schools and districts in the area are ranked.
  •  
    This is neat. I see the school that I live by is ranked #434 and dropped 150 places from last year. It was interesting to compare it to the schools in the surrounding area.
  •  
    That is really great! good to check on my own kids and when I set out looking for work...

Academy: Prezi Workflow in 15 minutes by Adam Somlai-Fischer on Prezi - 0 views

  •  
    Prezi is another great online presentation tool to consider. Plays nice with others and much more interesting than most power points.

    I think I just bought a new pair of shoes called Prezi. Looks good.

    I used to do a lot of oil painting. I got so I was painting too fast. I painted this picture of a Newfoundland dog in about an hour. I switched to watercolor painting which is a rather unforgiving medium and requires me to think a bit. I will go back to oils eventually. I like painting because the better I get at it the more challenges it presents. It is never boring

    My older brother is an artist. I have no talent in that area at all! I joke with him and tell him that he took all the artistic talent from my mom before I even had a chance! The pictures are wonderful. How did you get a picture posted? I am not understanding that yet.
  •  
    Ha! I just figured it out! By accident, but I got it!
  •  
    Dear Renee - Glad you figured out how to post the pictures. Isn't this fun? You have more talent than you think. It just depends on if a person is interested or not. I bet you do other crafts. Lory
  •  
    This is a fun way to keep in touch. I just asked my husband if I do any crafts and he lovingly said "no." :) I really am not crafty. I love to bake, so if that is a craft, than I am golden! I am very much looking forward to meeting everyone. Next weekend should be fun!
