NewsFlash!!!

Jane Anne (Les' mom) and I have started making jewelry. We are going into business together (in our dreams) and we plan to sale jewelry. I have made about 13 necklaces so far and I absolutely love it. It is very calming and I feel very creative while I am making the necklaces. I posted a slide show of some of the necklaces but the pictures don't really do them justice. Tell me what you think :-)

Spring Break

Can you guess where we are going for spring break?

Bet you can't...and you'll be so jealous :-)

...a huge prize is waiting for anyone who gets this one right

...not really just the warm feeling you get inside knowing you're a better guesser than everyone else

School, school and more school

Okay, I'm finding it a little hard to keep up with this. It seems everyone else is constantly posting new blogs; I will try my best to keep up the pace.

I started my last semester of school! Yay life. I am taking statistics; I was incredibly nervous but all my fears disappeared within the fisrt 30 minutes of class when I realized my professor is an incredibly old man who loses track of what he is saying and wants us to know everything that he has every learned and is committed to making sure everyone earns an A or B...should be interesting.

A great quote from my stats professor, "I am confident I can learn anything you are able to explain." And really that is usually the issue; its not how difficult the material is, its just how good you are at explaining it. If someone is not learning the info, you need to reevaluate your instruction.

My other class is about social skills and it is great. The professor is a principal at an behavior unit and she has some great insight into students who have extreme behaviors. Students with emotional behavior disorders do not value the same behavior as adults and teachers such as being considerate of others, disagreeing with adults appropriatly, and several others. Punishing the behavior out of the kid is not the answer; the only way to make long term changes in the childs behavior is to help them see the value in those behaviors that you are asking them to use.

Anyways...I thought is was interesting...
