Hey....I REALLY like that new computer lesson. So NEAT! I tried to print it
out but my printer seems to have a mind of it's own lately and won't work.
Am going to keep trying. Will probably now have to go get the printer (the
NEW printer by 5 months now) fixed. Damn.

I think so too. I felt that way also when I was doing the website. The white
was just too sterile and the color adds so much excitement. I can't imagine
it would take THAT much space on the CD. It doesn't on a webpage.

>I found out that Sam's has CD-R's in a case...for $1.00 each. This will
>make them look nice...

That sounds super. I think...or I'm seriously thinking...of doing an OODLES
OF ART II at CAEA. She's already told me I'd be accepted so it's up to me.
I'm really PLANNING on YOU have alot of stuff for me to brag about. Will
you?

While I'm at it, the fingerpainting projects turned out BEAUTIFUL this time
with a class I wouldn't have imagined. We took alot more time with
them...like 3 weeks...but WOW! Three kids are coming in every lunch time to
finish up. Really got "into" it. I was bummed out the first time I tried
it...thought I was just using too big a piece of paper for them...but I
guess they weren't charged up enough and had less time to finish. Goes to
show ya.

IMHO, I think we should keep it with both in both CD's. That way we can sell
BOTH to both audiences. What do you think? I probably won't be sending
anything until after the mid. of June...when school ends. I've got to take
more pictures of new stuff I'm doing too. Lots more pics. And I'll label
everything like you want me to...1 or 2.

>Yesterday was the last day for classes, but I took two students with me to

How big were the sculptures you saw? Isn't his work fabulous? Took my breath
away. So life-like.

Oh, my gosh. Bet that made you upset...a fractured pelvis after an ER visit
and they didn't notice it. Man...medicine is a racket. I get soooo upset
with their mentality sometimes. Make you wait and wait for so little
feedback.

>>BTW....how about telling me beforehand you
>>are sending me an attachment. I'm getting a little more paranoid about
>>attachments with all these viruses now.
>I will...I always send one first and tell you to look out for the
>attachments on a separate email...and you do the same.

Yep, I know you do. Sorry. I'm just getting more and more paranoid. I get
attachments from others and it bugs me they don't tell me first. I just
delete them.

BTW...sometimes when you send me stuff, it comes directly on the e-mail.
Other times it comes separately as an attachment. When it comes directly on
the e-mail, if it opens...does it mean I can get a virus from THAT one? Many
people said you have to "open UP the attachment" to get it. What gives?

Last Monday I was suppose to go on a technology observation of two schools
for industrial technology, etc. When I went to emergency room with Mom on
Sunday, we were putting her up on the gurney when a trama patient entered
the nurse's station. They ran out of the room leaving me holding on to MOM
in midair. My back went out but didn't notice too much until Sunday evening.
By Monday morning I couldn't even roll over to get out of bed. Since I had a
sub planned anyway for Monday (fortunately), I called in sick and spent all
Mon. morning at the Dr.s getting two kinds of pain pills and x-rays. "Stay
off your feet for two weeks". Yeah, right! Went back to school Tuesday and
stayed on a high with my pain pills. Everybody remarked how nice I was for a
couple of days. Hell...I didn't care if I was there or not! Great way to
teach!!! Try it sometime.

Ohhhhh. I hope you can make those CDs in colored background! Shoot. Maybe
you could have had some of your students make CD cover art for them. I could
try the same with mine but I bet your older kids could do better. Worth a
thought.

You're off now, huh? I've still got....16?....days left. We're having
assemblies up the ying-yang lately. About one a week. Tomorrow's the talent
show and they're dropping first and doubling second period. Guess what I
have second? Yeah. I've got 2nd period prep. Two whole hours of prep
tomorrow. Yipee!

BTW...in this 6th grade rotation, I have two students...Jennifer Yang and
Jeffery Ying. Ying and Yang!

I'm off. No cracks. Toodles......
