We will explore creative ways to dig deeper into familiar stories like The Three Bears, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and my newest favorite, Harriet Can Carry It, by Kirk J.

It's summertime theme and ever-expanding story line will captivate your students and get them talking and writing about social/emotional development, story sequence, and consideration.

I've Never Been To Texas... for my birthday!

Deep In The Heart of Texas!

Click the image to learn more about this conference. 

I'm off to Gaylord Texas where I'll be presenting at the Frog Street Splash Early Childhood Conference. This will be my first time in Texas and my first time at Splash and I'm just a bit nervous. 

I'll be presenting a hands-on "make-&-take" session on Math and I'll be sharing tons of ideas to help students gain conceptual understanding of counting, cardinality, and algebraic operations in a totally FUN way!

I have heard so many great things about this conference. I'm looking forward to some really great presentations, a special dinner, and the Bloggers' Pajama Party! The best part is that I'll be celebrating my birthday there too! 

Texas is huge!

An even better part is that my #1 guy will be flying to Texas with me! He will be fly fishing while I'm attending and presenting at the conference, but we will have a little bit of time together for maybe a special dinner or a day exploring the Dallas area. 

So, I have two questions for your all:

#1. Who all is going to be in Texas for this amazing conference?

#2. If you had only one day in Texas (near Dallas), what would you do, where would you eat, and what would you buy? (I guess that was really 3 more questions.)

Thank you for your help!
