TROB: I teach K-8. I can SO relate to the no supplies! My school wants a quality art program without paying much for it. They gave me $400 for the whole school (75 students) for the whole year! Then the headmistress asked me to do a clay unit with the kids! I almost laughed in her face! (clay for 75 students would cost more than $400!) I am anxiously awaiting news as to what my budget will be this year. There are SO many ways to incorporate art into the curriculum...one good way is to use the art period that goes along with their history lessons, and feature the individual artists. Then have the kids try and create art in the same style. Doing a pop up book for a report is great, illustrating reports, etc. You probably have already thought of all those though.
On weight loss, I highly recommend Sugarbusters. Its simple, straight forward, and it works! I have metabolic syndrome, and recently was diagnosed as a diabetic, but previously, I found Sugarbusters to be the only plan I could actually lose on. Here is a link to the support forum on here for it, where you can ask questions, or check out more about the plan. This is the support board forum, where most of the group hangs out.

Please feel free to send me a private message if you like. I would LOVE to exchange ideas! I have been dabbling in art education for years, but just started teaching in this school all school year last year. My degree is in art ed, so it feels good to be back into it.
to 3FC. I teach art here in Georgia at a small private school. I love it.
