This Was My Bathroom #HurricaneIrene Now you see it- now you don’t!

Remember how pretty this area used to be???  That’s the hubs and Uncle M- demolition team extraordinaire. 

Yes- those spots are all mold.  YUM. 

Yup, yup….more mold…

Oooooo!  Deep down mold!  (After the Clorox hit it 4x)

And the behind the wall mold….

Just the bottom part of the shower is still up…or down?  The EW when we took that out is not fir to be online. 

Underside of another wall…

And there is the “potty” and the sink- the shower and walls are the pile next to it.  That was the cute, kids, “Hello Kitty” bathroom.  And then?  No and then.  BLAH!   

TRY not to be jealous.  I know, it’s hard    😛

Rock ‘N Learn Twitter Party- RSVP now :)

Collective Media Magic Blogging partners all have a background of some sort in education and academics. It is this background that gives us an appreciation for the mind set of the the developers at
Rock-n-learn. They get it; our kids (aka: students) learn in different ways. 
We were delighted when a peak at the Rock-n-learn
blog
 made mention of Differentiated Instruction. The term is sometimes
looked upon with much skepticism because it implies the use of a plethora of
instructional methods be used that in theory are easier to suggest that than implement.
We don’t even have to refer to our child on this one….seriously aren’t we all combination learners? We all need our visual, social, creative,
and tactile needs met and don’t want to be bored with ritualistic instruction. A one way approach doesn’t work for most of us and it doesn’t work for our children.
Rock-n-learn not only validates this learning philosophy but
it practices the foundation of this same belief through a multisensory approach.

  

Rock-n-Learn DVDs are perfect for homeschooling, practice or even in
the classroom. They are all have an in-depth entertaining approach that engages
young, inquisitive learners. You won’t find a better phonics system than Rock
‘N Learn!
And to prove it the partners of Collective
Media Magic
have teamed up with the people of Rock-n-learn for a Q&A
style prize packed Twitter Party!!!
When: September 27th
What time: 8pm CST
Hash tag: #Rocknlearn
Prizes include: Individual copies of Earth Science DVD,
Human Body DVD, Physical Science DVD and Life Science DVD and the whole Science
DVD Collection as a grand prize!
As well as a coupon code for 25% off just for party goers!
To participate: 
Follow your hosts and sponsor (all attendees will be verified)
Leave
your Twitter name and link in the sign up linky (those that don’t sign up are not eligible to win prizes)
At the party be sure to include the #Rocknlearn hash tag in all question responses and conversation participation. 
Be sure to answer all party questions with a Q and corresponding
question number. For example Q1: means you are replying to the first question
we asked, Q2: is for the second, Q3:, and Q4:.
Questions: Ask there here or send one of an email!
Otherwise we will see you there!
