How many ways can you compose to five?
Click the image to see this activity set. 

I love getting to meet teachers across the country and share my message:

"Keep the FUN in the FUNdamentals!"

Adding FUN to EVERY Standard.

That is why I'm thrilled to be able to travel across our country and present workshops for teachers. 

All set up and ready to share!

My favorite ones are the "Make & Take" sessions where teachers get to experience hands-on activities that they can take back to their classrooms. 

Hands-On Learning!

Below, you will find a list of the conferences I scheduled for this year. 

I present on ELA, Math, Social Studies, Science, Inquiry Based Learning, Questioning Strategies, Centers, and Keeping "Play" in Your Kindergarten Day!

Try to catch me, if you can, and experience a day of learning and inspiration. 

And I can bring all of this to your school too!

And be sure to check out any added events like this Blogger Bash Pajama Party at the CA Kindergarten Conference last year.

Why Was I Surprised?

Today Is My 5 Year Blogaversary!

So, why was I surprised that it had already been 5 years since starting my blog? Well, because it seemed like 3. It's been such a fun ride and I'm so glad I took the leap into this teacher blogging/TpT/Presenting world! I LOVE my new job!

My Very 1st Post:

Here it is, and it's STILL my favorite organizational idea. I LOVE how file folders fit perfectly in these racks. I had at least 3 of these in my classroom at all times and now I have them in my office.

You can read my very first post from 5 years ago today by CLICKING HERE.

Selling on TpT Has Been Awesome:

The BEST part of selling on Teachers Pay Teachers is the wonderful feedback I get from teachers around the world. I LOVE hearing that their students enjoyed writing with Instant Sentences or had so much fun "shopping" with my Shopping Receipts set. It is great to know that children are having fun learning and that teachers are having more fun teaching. You can check out my TpT Store, which has 20 FREEBIES for you by CLICKING HERE.

Presenting Is The Best Job EVER:

I'm so blessed to be able to present at conferences across the USA and even in Canada. I present a lot for SDE (Staff Development for Educators) at conferences and for school districts. It combines two of my favorite things: Kindergarten and traveling. I love getting to meet early childhood teachers and sharing my ideas, tips, and techniques with them. It's such a great feeling to inspire a teacher and get them excited about teaching certain content, especially when they were feeling a bit burned out. My goal is to make both teaching AND learning FUN. 

Will you be attending the cadillac of all kindergarten conferences this July in Las Vegas? I'm talking about "I Teach K!" You can find more info by CLICKING HERE. This is one conference you won't want to miss!
