Look Up

So this month is yet another blogging month and I am finally back. Well, sort of. I am on my final month of this school year and I want to start blogging again. I feel like I have missed a good deal of my life with this job and a bit of my creativity has been drained but I feel it coming back. In fact, I am working on a pretty cool new project. I found this book called Urban Paper and have introduced the concept of paper toys and robots to my students. I hope to get them to try to design their own Mars lander for Space Day (May 7th). Oh and for those of you who wonder about my title this month time... Look Up is the theme for this month. Space is looking up, right? ;) Check out the blog for the book.

AW: my squares were featured on Pay it Forward

As some of you know (if you have been reading along) that I have done some charity work (I am starting slowly) and made a bunch of squares to send to a little girl in New Mexico for her school's Pay it Forward project. Well I finally checked and she featured me on her blog (I am the Benicia CA one). Here is the pic she used (aren't the blocks pretty?). Now I just need to share some of my other work with y'all. Hopefully, I will get around to that soon.

So if you have been following the blog (or even if you haven't) you might notice it is really cute now and much more reader-friendly. Well I have been looking at the blog wondering why no one seems to want to read it, and it is very likely because I don't blog that often. However, I also thought the look was a little lacking. I know that a cute blog does not equal an interesting blog but at least I am trying. So I changed the regular blog background and colors and then added a header image from a lapghan I am currently working on, cute huh? But what about the really 'sweet' detail on the outside? Well that is courtesy of Jannypie. Check out her website for free blog backgrounds and lots of other over all cuteness. Thanks Jannypie for the wonderful new look!! I hope it means my posts will be more interesting... well we will see ;).
