Well, why didn't I post yesterday if I was home all day and ill? I had it on my to-do list for the day, but several things conspired against me. One, I was pretty ill. Two, Blogspot went down for a while when I tried to post. And three, the fractal I was rendering took more than 24 hours to render. It then vanished and started to rerender which I stopped and made the file smaller. It is still going. I learned that upping the resolution really has impact on the speed of render. Ah, dreams of a new computer dancing in my head until I realize what a hassle setting up a new computer would be.
Today, I stayed home as well and missed out on the Tuft's specialists coming to work with the 3-6 grade teachers on the reading program we are working on. It is modeled after the
Lucy Calkins writing and reading workshop. It is great stuff and individualizes the writing and reading for each child while still having whole class lessons on specific skills.
Since my rerender is still chugging along with about 50% still left (from this morning) I will give you another fractal that I rendered recently.
