Evelyn and Clara are in the same swim lesson class. They just can't get enough. Today Evelyn showed me how she swims with circling arms and nose down. And we bought some goggles to deal with the red eyes. Super fun!
REDEFINE the Doodle online workshop by Traci Bautista. This lesson showcases a video tutorial for this painting.

By far the one of the most engaging and interesting sessions at the Riding the Wave conference. Brent Schmidt uses The Classroom Story to move students from writing alone to writing together, taking game theory and narrative to another level. We had a hilarious time creating our own characters and starting the beginning of his lesson. I know I missed some key elements but this is the best I could do since I wanted to fully participate.

At school, a close view of my 3 of my daily essentials: my lesson plan book, a pencil and my camera case (one of the hundreds of things I've crocheted)... : )
"Riding Lessons" by Sara Gruen was an instant choice for me after I read "Water For Elephants". I will be the first to admit. I have this crazy impulsive habit of rushing out to buy every title I can find by a certain author if I love one of their books. "Water For Elephants" was one of the best books I have ever read so I searched Sara Gruen to see what else she had.
The book was beautifully written and is about a world-class equestrienne who was in a tragic accident with her horse at age 18. After the accident, she vowed to never get on a horse again. Many years later, Annemarie's husband leaves her and she looks to make a new start at her dying father's horse farm. She struggles with her teenager daughter, her parents, and her memories of her riding career.
For the group: The 25 Book Challenge for 2011
After being so inspired (and a little intimidated) by everyone else's gluebook pages, I created my first one.
A religious lesson at the Mosque of Ibn Al-Arabi in Salhieh, Damascus.
Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi (1165-1240) is one of the most famous Muslim philosophers. He was born in southern Spain and lived during the golden era of openness and tolerance in Arab-ruled Andalusia. He spent years traveling around the Arab world before finally settling in Damascus, where he completed his greatest book Al-Futuhat Al-Makkiyyah (Meccan Revelations), which is an encyclopedia of Sufism (Islamic mysticism) and Sufi teachings. He was buried in Damascus; and the Mosque, pictured above, was built in his honor by Ottoman Sultan Selim I in 1516.
Throughout his life, Ibn Arabi preached tolerance among all faiths. In one of his most famous poems, he considers his heart "a center of love":
O Marvel! a garden amidst the flames.
My heart has become capable of every form:
It is a pasture for gazelles and a convent for Christian monks,
and a temple for idols and the pilgrim's Kaa'ba,
and the tables of the Torah and the book of the Quran.
I follow the religion of Love:
Whatever way Love's camels take,
that's my religion and my faith.
The latest roses were used for a lesson with a truly "real" camera. The lense is old from the late 70's/early 80's ... a Vivitar Series 1 - 90 mm Macro.
The mirror finish on the blade edge is lost, if you fail to finish sanding the slabs to a good fit BEFORE attaching them... also, using too much epoxy means more sanding, and again, a loss of the mirrored edge.
