02/13/2006: "some days you get to love your job"
i taught a class today to an amazing group of kids. it was a project i have done a bunch of times before - intro to weaving with inkle looms. everyone got to pick the colors and make a bookmark to take home. kids love to use the looms because they are a kind of a machine and that's always cool. these kids all had a ball and everyone finished a bookmark (one even had enough for a belt!) and some thought their weaving would make a great valentine present for their mom. they tried hard, they had great attitudes, it was a treat to work with them. what was even more special about this group was that it was a "Life Skills" special education classroom and the parents of two of the kids brought me in as their christmas present to the class. i am pretty sure i will remember this class always.
