YouTube - President Obama at the 2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner

This is an awesome video of the President of the United States of America. I was never so proud of any president. He was left with a huge mess to clean up and is doing a great job despite getting all the blame for stuff that was in place already under the bush ;-) Ridiculous claims and accusations. No other president and first lady was ever so involved with the people as these two. And even those who oppose them can not honestly deny this. Unfortunately, honesty and reality are not part of some people's assets.

What I'm sayin' is IN YOUR FACE!!! LMAO

Art Smart - Art For All

Classroom project requested by Ms. W. on Jan 16, 2011

Ms. W.'s ClassroomFollow High Poverty Del City High School Oklahoma City, Oklahoma My Students: Need to increase self esteem while perfecting art skills? Imagine inspiring confidence in students through the arts. Students with physical and mental challenges are afraid to draw and confused about art. Practicing makes anything easier. Art builds self confidence. The arts express what cannot be expressed through words and will open lines of communication. Students will be able to conceptualize abstract ideas that are difficult to teach without the use of concrete art materials. My Project: Students will create unique works of art for the Special Olympics Art competition in our state. In the past, students have had to use classroom markers, pencils, and crayons for their submissions. The use of inadequate supplies has caused a decrease in quality of work. With the use of new art supplies students will be proud of their work and will want to preserve their works of art by framing them. Framing will ensure a masterpiece that can be kept for many years to come. Individuals of all abilities will have an opportunity for creative expression through art. Art nurtures predictability, stability, and skill building. Winning an art competition will provide some of these students a once in a lifetime chance to experience success.
