Did you know that it is International Mud Day?
I hope you are out playing in the mud!!!!

We are on vacation. So, I have scheduled this post for you.

As far as I am concerned, MUD DAY needs to be every day!

Here are a few of our previous posts that have to do with mud:








We play in the mud pretty much any chance we get!

How are you celebrating today?

Being that our childcare is closed and we are on vacation, I am hoping to celebrate MUD DAY either on the shore of Lake Ontario or Lake Erie (depending on where we are on our road trip!).

Thank you to Jaime over at Hands On As We Grow for setting up this wonderful blog hop! 
If you have been playing in the mud, join in:

Holy COW!! Batman. This is the summer when I learn how to get my blog out into the wider world of cyber-connected educators.

Step one. Attempt to learn something about stats of visitors. Imagine my complete surprise & utter amazement to learn that the most visitors in the past month have come directly from your blog!

Then imagine my delight at arriving here to find my blog listed in your blog roll!!! And I don't even know how to create a blog-roll. Ye gads I have so much to learn.

Consider yourself hugged and appreciated!!!

Glad to now know why we HAVE SO MUCH MUD at our place at the moment!!!!! But being winter in this part of the world and having had A LOT of rain it is acceptable. I do feel sorry though for our poor cows with permanent mud knee-hi s.
Thank you Amy for keeping us educated.

A Few Ideas With Marker Caps (As Promised)

By
Yesterday, I hope I convinced you not to throw away your markers that "don't work." Today, I will share with you a few ideas for what to do with all of the caps. The possibilities are nearly endless, but here are a few of our recent creations: 1) A Leprechaun/Fairy Ladder/Rope Ladder: 2) #1 if not permanently secured can also double as a rope bridge: 3) #1/#2 can also be made into a train track for your homemade trains :). (No photo available) 4) You can use them as beads for a necklace: 5) You could make them into a wind chime. (No photo available). 6. You can use them as small manipulatives to count, sort, and make patterns with. (No photo available). 7) You could use them as playing pieces in your own homemade board game.

My friend died

 I learned a hell of a lot from Dan Hodgins.  He was mentor, a friend, and a "bone shaker" for many of us in the field of Early Childhood Education. He was and will always be a champion for children, and protector of childhood.   I have so many great memories of time spent with him, it just doesn't seem like we had enough time. Dan died this past Saturday.  Interestingly enough, Dan and I talked about death quite a bit. It is one of those topics that isn't talked about all that much in our field, but is super important. All living things eat, all living things poop, and all living things die.  Dan and I recorded a podcast for awhile called "Shaking Bones." Dan was always shaking bones, even before I met him.

He was never afraid to touch on topics that were a bit edgy, or issues that sometimes weren't talked about much at all.  We even t
