We should co-moderate on how to use hip-hop in the classroom......that would be fun.....
A5: Mexican Mother's Day is on Tuesday, May 10th. Nothing planned with the 18yo Ss, no, but MS grades usually do.
A5 Learn about the history of mothers day, honestly not sure how to bring in for HS.
Yes, please! I've seen some cool concepts. Harder to implement in a desert climate.
It's been a while, but every year it was something different. Not a fan of repeat gifts.
A5 To model the geologic timeline we make personal versions students can gift
Love glitter! And sparkles.
All the amazing ones get used up in K-2.
NO GLITTER! (or SPIRALS!)
Glitter! ugh! That stuff repeats itself for months!
Q5 was the lull question!
hate when all Ts in a GL do the same thing yr after yr. I'm getting a lot of repeat gifts as my boys get older
Love it! I pull it out w/ MS, they love it! (puffy paint impossible to clean up)
Plaster hand print, picture frame...
Waiting for someone to go there! Thanks for not disappointing! https://t.co/joRRfuKsdM
Glitter is the herpes of crafts...
LOL I know! That's what's great! The gift keeps on giving...
Didn't know there was a pic to go with it.
I will never disappoint when it comes to inappropriate comments
I learned this from dating an art teacher.... ?
why would they have a glitter meme with Bronson Pinchot
Best new addition to the chat in the last month:

You have missed a LOT: glitter, hip-hop, Drake, Gandalf,

SO off task right now. LOL

Whew! Glad I missed the , but sad about the rest!
Had artwork of S-drawn mom portraits displayed and Ss' baby pics displayed. Ss played music.
I am so jealous of this right now.
Always looking for new or other -worthy material.
Haiku a day? It'd be a good book... 100 Haikus by Hutch!
https://t.co/jspZIUIQTH
I am so jealous of this right now.
A6: I have no idea what this is. I guess I missed out this time around!
Just one of the reasons I love this chat :)
It does everything: Grammy, Pullitzer, Tony, ?
Talking glitter, paint, everything but chat questions. LOL Having a blast!
That's why I'm only doing a page a day, I can do it with TV on, and because it's bad, it doesn't matter...
You! Make it fun and for you, your Ss will benefit as you grow!
Thanks! I appreciate that!
FIRST couple of days? Of what?
So hard this time of year. Motivation
A7: I can talk about blogging: I haven't yet managed to make it part of my routine. What I want to do vs. what I have to do.
Oh, good one! Why didn't I think of that. I love nature. Biophilia will save us all! | More: https://t.co/uZWjyPjOtp
A7 I wait until the end of the night, right before bed; by the time I'm done I'm wired and can't sleep!

Thanks everyone for the laughs! I have to get going! See you next week!
A7: (where was 5/6?) making time... I need to make time!!
Maybe I need to try focusing for 100 days. LOL Not getting distracted.

I found writing tomorrow's post tonight worked really well. Plus it keeps you from falling behind or missing.
. Tech problems. I lost two blogs. 98 days behind. Not, really, 0nly a couple wks.
What's your 100 day challenge? Writing a novel?
