Blogging Break

By
We interrupt this online blogging world for a seriously busy real life! 
 
Blogging will commence again when life has settled, and I'm caught up with all of those other real life things!
Please feel free to visit the archives, or any of the wonderful blogs in my blog roll!
 
I'm doing my best to keep up with emails, and I have so many wonderful fun ideas and activities to share with you, but...... there are other things that need to be done, like research papers, workshops, and family time. 
 
Don't worry, I'll be back.... I'm just not sure how long it is going to be.

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. To say I was honored to be asked to be his co-host would be putting it lightly. I loved recording with 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...

A Few Ideas With Marker Caps (As Promised)

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 :).

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. (No photo available). 8) You could put them on a wire and glue them in place to make a twirling whirly-gig. 9) You could top them with a lid from a milk jug to make tiny tables or toadstools. 10) You could make them...
