Cut Outs and writing Practice Sheets

Below are links to the cutouts I promised some of you. For new teachers who do not have email, I am sending through your principals so please have patience with me, principals!
As a reminder, they are used instead of coloring sheets for children who will need tactile accomodations. Example: If the sighted peers are coloring pumpkins for the fall, use the cutout patterns at the links to fold and cut using contruction paper, printer paper or craft paper. Then allow the children to color the cutout on a textured surface. That will make the crayon on the paper have texture and the child can feel where he/she has colored.
Let me know of any other shapes you'd like to see.

Some examples of textured surfaces that can be used for coloring are:

window screen taped or stapled to a board
canvas board
plastic light covering for the fluorescent lights [look up and see what kind is over the lights in your class. You can get a sheet for a few $$ at Lowes or Home Depot]
sand paper
sidewalk

Friend --

We're six weeks out from the November 2nd elections -- and the President is fired up.

Last night he recorded this video message for OFA supporters.

Thousands of you have already answered the President's call to donate, volunteer, and commit to vote -- but it's going to take all of us to stay aggressive over the next six weeks.

And, as the President said, the stakes this year are incredibly high.

Corporate interests are spending millions to make sure their Republican allies take control in the House and Senate -- and their vision for America could not be further from ours.

Whether it's health insurance reform, Wall Street reform, civil rights, or Social Security, Republicans are promising to repeal our historic victories, and then take us back to policies that favor corporate interests over middle-class families, and profits over people.

But this election belongs to us -- not special interests. And we've proved them wrong before.

We did it by volunteering, chipping in what we could, and talking to more voters than any campaign in history. We have to do it again this year.

The President is taking this message across the country, but he can't do it alone. Let's show him he has our support.

Watch the video -- and then chip in $5 or more to help us stay strong in these last six weeks:

Thanks for all you do,

Mitch

Reverend Boudreaux was the part-time pastor of the local Cajun Baptist Church and Pastor Thibodaux was the minister of the Covenant Church across the road. They were both standing by the road, pounding a sign into the ground, that read:

'Da End is Near
Turn Yo Sef 'Roun Now
Afore It Be Too Late!'

As a car sped past them, the driver leaned out his window and yelled, 'You religious nuts!'

From the curve they heard screeching tires, and a big splash...

Boudreaux turns to Thibodaux and asks, 'Do ya tink maybe da sign should jussay.....'Bridge Out?'
