Re: Quicker Clean-Up Procedure

I use paper plates for palettes (acrylic paint) when finished they
go into the trash. I keep a large plastic ice cream (5 qt) tub full of
water at the sink to put brushes in and assign one or two people to
wash them. We have 43 minute classes.

       I'm from Kansas,  where the Legislature and BOE keep trying 
        to define the term "suitable" because our constitution requires
          the state provide a "suitable" education for all students
                      Only Kansas is flat, not the entire planet.
