When they filmed Field of Dreams so many years ago, this was a big deal for Iowa, especially Dyersville! My brother and his wife live about five miles from the Field of Dreams, so we have been there several times. I think it is so neat that Kevin Costner is coming back to Dyersville to do this. It is nice to see he hasn't forgotten one of the films, and the place it was shot, that helped his career so much! The Questions Continue Part 1: We love Art, Music and P.E. - Blog Entry28 Jul 2006 11:09 AM Valorie- Thanks so much for this information. I am enjoying our back and forth blogging! This blog and your other one is giving me some new ideas for a response blog to you! Be on the look out for it! I have to say again how impressed I am with your homeschooling abilities- -Kaye Who Is Your Celebrity Twin? - Blog Entry28 Jul 2006 10:04 AM I did enter my husband's photo...it is cracking me up. Maybe I should pick another picture, because he in no way came close to having Freddie Prinze Jr as his celebrity twin! I always knew I was way too pretty for him! Just kidding!LOL! -Kaye Who Is Your Celebrity Twin? - Blog Entry28 Jul 2006 09:41 AM Okay, I am now loving this site only because it said my celebrity twin is Sarah Michelle Gellar. I am not sure it read my face correctly! LOL! But, hey, I will take it! Thanks for the fun site! -Kaye Do Not Instill a Love of Learning in Your Children - Blog Entry25 Jul 2006 12:16 PM This is great! I love how kids can take a situation such as a tornado and turn it into an exciting learning experience. My four year old still talks about the tornado that hit near our home when he was two. He remembers it vividly and still asks questions about it two years later. I love it! Great blog! -Kaye Teacher Merit Pay - Blog Entry24 Jul 2006 05:31 PM This is a great subject! Coming from a special education teaching background, I firmly believe that if a merit system is introduced, then there needs to be something for teachers of special education and general education teachers who have a class full of learning disabled or other special education students. After all, that classroom, and the special education classroom aren't likely to see growth that other teachers may see. I also believe that it will result in teachers trying to refuse to take children they know are in special education, because they run the risk of not receiving any incentive pay. Thanks for the great blog. I am all fired up about this topic again! My previous school in which I had taught, had just started discussing this shortly before I stopped teaching. Let me tell you, in the school I taught, a low-income school with very little parent involvement and the highest amount of free lunch students and the highest number of special education students in the district, the teachers at my school weren't pleased with the possibility. It seemed to be something that would hurt the teachers at our school and in the end, hurt the kids that attend there, as they would lose good teachers who choose to leave and teach at a more affluent school where they stood the chance of earning the incentive pay because of the difference in student populations. It was a very sensitive subject. Great post! |
