I came across what seems like a great motivational classroom management system.  I am not sure how to make it work in my art room, but I am thinking I can alter it to work even for me and my 570 students.

Can't Beat the Beach








It has been awhile since my family and I were able to relax and enjoy some time together.  A couple of years ago we went to Myrtle Beach.  My daughter was ready to head back to the water so we chose a new spot, Orange Beach, Alabama near Gulf Shores.  I knew I needed to make sure my 7 year old daughter understood that the beach would not actually be orange.  You can imagine her dismay.  I assured her that the hotel we had chosen was indeed orange.  We really did everything last minute since I am paranoid about planning a trip during a hurricane.  Hurrican Debby had just missed the Alabama coast and moved toward Florida so I thought this was the perfect time.  The odds of a second storm coming up any time soon was probably rather low.  We had always regretted not having a photo done of our first trip to the beach so we contacted a photo studio I had found online.  They were booked, but they put us in touch with the perfect person for us.  Her name is Susan Caver of Just A Pose Photography.  She was wonderful.  We enjoyed our photo session and she put us completely at ease.  I highly recommend contacting her through her web site.  www.justaposephotography.com
