Hello everyone. Well, this Friday is when the container gets picked up and begins it’s journey of changing lives. I’m hoping to find out a definite time when it’s being picked up and I invite you all to come out and wish it well on its journey with us. Thanks again for everyone who contributed to the cause or just followed along on the blog…[Read more]

I’m finishing up the last week of Art camps. Also, today the container is being packed with donations and medical supplies and is due to ship out to Uganda on August 3rd!

Hi Mike,

That’s a really great idea about setting up a laptop with “real-time data” perpetually for the students to be able to continue tracking the turtles. Knowing you, it’s without any doubt that you would […]

Well, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but the shipping container is officially finished!!!! I’ll try to post some pictures on here, but the past few times I’ve tried, the site keeps yelling at me saying […]

No, we’re using a water based enamel latex from Sherwin Williams. Their color choices offer a huge variety and it’s extremely easy to work with. The enamel adheres really well to the tooth of the container, […]

Thanks Susan,

Unfortunately, doing public art like this, one always has to keep the elements in mind. Finding glaze and clay can be a bit tricky if one doesn’t know what to look out for. It’s one of those […]

Hello everyone. I’m sorry I missed it this year. Mike brought me up to speed with what was shared and it all sounded wonderful.

Susan- You always have such positive stories about what you and your district […]

So, this week we can say that we’re officially on the home stretch. My goal is for the end of next week to be finished. We spent this week adding shading and highlights and things are really starting to come to […]

Thanks Kristin,

We’ll most likely be working during the week now rather than the weekends. However, that certainly doesn’t mean that you can’t drive over on a weekend just to check it out. Here is a recent […]

Well, we’re looking to get the mural on our Uganda container finished by next week. We’re at the point now where the fine details (shadowing, adding texture, washes, etc.) and things are really starting to pop. […]

Hello everyone,

We’ll painting tomorrow morning, around 10:30, and everyone is welcome to come. We generally paint until 2ish, so be sure to bring plenty of water, lunch and sunscreen and enjoy the day. […]

Hi Julie,

We’ll be working this Saturday on the mural if you would like to join us. We generally start around 10:30 and end around 2ish. Make sure to bring a lunch, water and plenty of sunscreen. Hope you […]

This was absolutely fascinating to read. I’m looking forward to checking back and seeing what they find. This sounds like another “Educators Night” topic for M.A.R.E. educators… hint hint.
Jason Draine replied to the forum topic Sustaining M.A.R.E. in your classroom in the group MARE 11 years, 6 months ago

Well, I’m totally free after that day too. Would you be willing to meet up with my supervisor, Len, and I? We can come to IMCS.
Jason Draine replied to the forum topic Sustaining M.A.R.E. in your classroom in the group MARE 11 years, 6 months ago

Janice,

do you think we could talk more about the meeting with NJEFP and their views on the container project? My supervisor and I would really like to sit down with you guys and brainstorm how we could make a […]

Hi Julie,

Thank you for responding to the post. I find every year how amazing it is that quite a few of the the students I teach are so immersed within 4-H. It’s an absolutely wonderful organization that […]

Well, we just took our M.A.R.E. program capabilities one step further. We have figured out how to create a video conferencing center in our Ocean Science room. Anyone want to interact between now and 19th?
Jason Draine replied to the forum topic Sustaining M.A.R.E. in your classroom in the group MARE 11 years, 6 months ago

One easy way to sustain M.A.R.E. in the classroom is to create a small club. This will take some volunteer time on your part, but we’re educators, that’s what we do all the time (ha).

With M.A.R.E. loosing […]

So, the never-ending question… how do you sustain M.A.R.E. in your classroom when there is lack of support either from district, administration or sadly… colleagues.

I like to think that my school has […]
