Here’s some more stuff D has done in his class – with the help of the aides…

A craft foam sheet & rice starfish

Brown paper lunch bag stuffed, tied, painted fish

They hung these & the starfish from the ceiling in their room & had a giant aquarium effect.

A Bundle of Happiness

Darius was very happy after school on Tuesday. The camera happened to be handy.

Not sure why these photos were taken, but I was up for it – maybe they were taken because I was smiling…

Another good smile

The next level is a higher stool. Though here it looks like I’m just leaning against it.

Apparently WordPress has changed how to attach videos. The link above will take you to Google video to see a short video of me doing my thing – it was taken on Momma’s still camera, hence the quality.

End the R-Word

Heather — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 21:55:38 +0000

Dear friends,
Today, 3-31-09, is a special day that has been set aside to honor those with special needs. There is a movement going around the world to end the use of the R-Word (retard). Today I am inviting you to join this group and, by doing so, take the R-Word pledge. That simply means that you will not use the R-Word, not even about yourself. It also means that you will teach your children to do the same and, hopefully, take a stand when you hear the word used. Please be a part of this historic day by joining, and inviting others to join as well!

Take the opportunity to pledge to end the derogitory use of the r-word.

Darius’ New Voice
