SDE 2014 and What's Important

I'm back but you probably didn't even know I was gone! This past week I attended the National I Teach 1st! conference right here in Las Vegas and even though I live here I still had a great time! I love playing tourist down on the "strip". I often forget all the wonderful things Las Vegas has to offer. 



The conference was amazing, fun, and full of information! My creative juices are flowing full of ideas for next year! I can't wait to share them all here as I use them in my classroom! 

I met a lot of wonderful people and teachers there too! An the sessions were amazing! I even got to spend a whole day with Dr. Jean! yes, that Dr. Jean! We sang danced and made wonderful things to use in our classrooms but most of all we laughed!!!

This conference made me realize that the most important thing in teaching is our students! I feel renewed and refreshed and ready for a new year! 

The picture above was taken in the Freebielicious photo booth. These awesome bloggers have gotten together to offer kindergarten and first grade teachers really great free resources. I encourage all of you to check out their blog at http://freebie-licious.blogspot.com/.
