Wow, thank-you Carol!  :)  Another great resource for my 
presentation...  and interesting besides.  My principal did have a 
substitute ask her why I included playing Monopoly, Scrabble or Fluxx on 
my plan sheet one day when I was out.  She supported me, but did ask for 
more of an explanation, which I was able to give... but things like this 
just support my position!
