Annette,
Are you refering to me as the "Graphics Queen"? I can't read the entire topic title. If you are, then I thank you. I didn't think I was though. I really want to change my graphics to be website like, but they cost money. I am trying to learn more to see if the money investement is really worth it. Some teachers out there have some truly awesome sites and they share great materials. This is a goal of mine. Currently, the butterfly chalkboard on my blog is from cuteblogontheblock, I think.
My students are doing great with oral language. I even have my severly autistic child and my low functioning, seizure disorder student participating. This works well as a great social skill as well as a writing skill. Thank you for your inspiration!
Rebecca
