I wish I could say “What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas..” but this trip was too EPIC not to share! I had the opportunity attend the I Teach K! national conference in Vegas last week. My favorite aspect of this seminar (besides being in Vegas) was that some of the most inspiring teacher bloggers were the presenters. To me, these women have paved the way in the teacher blogging world, and I was so excited to meet them and hear what they had to say! My trip started off with me getting the best fortune in my fortune cookie on our way to Vegas…
I arrived Tuesday evening, just in time for the “Blogger Meet Up.” This was a time for all of the bloggers that were in town for the conference and for all the blog stalkers (folks that don’t blog, but are almost more into blogs than bloggers themselves) to meet up in one room and do what we do best: talk about teaching. Here are some of the ladies that I was able to snatch a picture with (there we SO many more that I wasn’t able to get a picture with, but I love you all!!).
This is Fran, author of Kindergarten Crayons. She is seriously the funniest person ever, as well as the most knowledgeable teacher that I have met. I actually used to work in her district before the good ol’ budget cuts. 🙂
And Miss Rochelle from What the Teacher Wants! This is the second time that we have gotten to meet and somehow I still missed meeting the other half of her blogging team: Natalie! (Hi Natalie!)
This was my first time meeting Deanna Jump from Mrs. Jump’s Class. She is seriously so adorable and I could listen to her cute accent for hours! (which I did because I went to two of her seminars 😉
I was also able to sneak a picture with Heidi from Heidi Songs. She makes these incredible DVD’s that help kids learn to read, spell, and sing the sight words. I won a copy of her numbers from 11-20 DVD, which are tricky for some kids, so I was excited to win that one. Check out her website HERE.
