Fuel and Hotdogs...life is good!

Went to one of my favorite gas stations today. Ernies. Mini-service gas pumping and a Nathan's Hotdog stand. Yes, Kosher hotdogs can be found in Nebraska!

Found it!

How could one handbag be such a pain in my heinie? For 2 days I could not find my NEW digital camera. Tonight, for the 3rd time I emptied my computer bag, brief case, and purse. Low and behold...there it was. Stuck in the bottom of the purse! Argh.
So, I guess I will take a lesson from this and be persistent. Thank you St. Anthony! I know, I am Jewish...but I take all available help at all times!

Wiimote Interactive Whiteboard

Today I was able to make an interactive whiteboard using a Wiimote and an infrared pen! Cannot wait to try it out with a projector. I am thinking it will work better since I seem to "de-calibrate" every time I jiggle the screen when I touch it. I will keep you updated...

Mr. Magic

Today I was checking my parent's house while they winter in Vegas. I wanted to share a glimpse of my dad's magic room. It is actually a functioning theater with spot lights and sound system. Pretty cool...many fun family evenings! I decided to snap a photo but only had my Treo. A bit grainy but it gets the point across.

Mrs. Feldman

I am pleased to say, I do not look exactly look like this...Even though one of my students seems to think so! However, I may need to have a makeup consultation at the Clinique counter!

I Heart Science!

Today we had a living organism lab. The kids learned so much about the classification system. Teaching with someone who loves science makes life wonderful!

Button Making

Today I made buttons for a high school show choir. I live an exciting life don't I?

Onion Goggles

Onion goggles. I can't believe it, but they work! At least so far...I chopped a big onion as one of the ingredients of my Moroccan Tomato Soup and I did not shed a tear. I could definitely spell how potent it was, but it did not make me cry. The true test will be during Passover if I chose to help make home made horseradish!

SPED room

I had the chance to tour a new school in our district. This is a SPED room which obviously is a place where people understand the multiple sensory needs students have. So cool!

Seasons of storage

What is wrong with this picture?

The last car in the teacher's lot...Does this look familiar to any of you?
