How to use this Page

If I'm truly going to challenge myself I have to go out of my comfort zone. Usually, this involves creating things on the computer. For today's challenge I used illustrator (and only illustrator) to create my newest creature. Thank you again so much for the comments as they have kept me going these last six days!

Once again: Viewer challenge is to be the first to name my creature (thanks for the great and wonderfully appropriate names thus far!)

Today's creature: He's elusive and careful but a tad on the nutty side: while he will eat peanut butter he will only eat it on potato chips with a side of guacamole! His biggest fear is alien invasion and yes, his fur is naturally orange.

Dear Friends,

As you probably know, I’m a teacher who uses and benefits from DonorsChoose.org, an amazing nonprofit organization that is a finalist in The Members Project. The prize is up to $5 million, and the outcome will be decided by votes of American Express card holders. If folks like you and I help DonorsChoose.org win, all the proceeds will go to classroom projects in public schools.

This doesn’t require money; it requires just 2 minutes of your time. You could impact hundreds of thousands of public school students by voting now for:

Teachers Ask. You Choose. Students Learn.

If the registration/voting process is at all confusing, please see these simple instructions at:

And if you don’t have an American Express, please take a few minutes to forward this message on… DonorsChoose is up against some tough competition! The outcome will likely be decided by fewer than a hundred votes. Your vote now is essential.

On behalf of all the schoolchildren whom your vote will impact, thank you for helping this great charity at such a critical moment!

Warm regards,
Stacey Shubitz

Charles Best, educational visionary, visits Ms. Shubitz’ class

A few months ago, The Extended Day Girls, and their teachers Stacey Shubitz and Christina Rodriguez, were guests on Book Bites for Kids. They talked about their new book Deal With It. Ms. Shubitz obtained money from donorschoose.org so the girls could publish their book.
