We DO have some takers on the offer to meet for
Carnival of Animals in Columbus...January is out...
IF you want to be included in my mailing going out to
Ohio Art Educators on the lists - please reply to this
email (Jdecker@woh.rr.com). I know I have "met" many
more Ohio teachers this year who are NOT on the
"Experts list"...so do reply if you want to have an
Ohio meeting in Columbus. The cool thing for you is
you could even take it as a "Professional Day" and go
on a school day if you want. We could see the Carnival
Exhibit and take in the Columbus Museum of Art too if
you want....and maybe Ann Heineman will have some of
her FABULOUS cookies! Ann is the Cookie Queen. Doing
this on a day when Miss Ann is available is a
MUST...She has "treasures" in her basement - honest!
Ann, I will help with goodies for all.
The show runs through April 18....and all of you know
I can go any day of the week.
Please reply this week sometime....and I will get a
mini list mailing ready for us to start planning. I
guarantee you will come away with dozens of lesson
plan ideas.
