Will You Be at The CA Kindergarten Conference This Weekend?

 I Will! And I'll Be Presenting on Emergent Writing:

Come to Santa Clara, CA this weekend and enhance your Pre-K, T.K., Kindergarten, or 1st Grade Classroom with so many new ideas! Our theme this year is "Play to Learn" and YOU get to play to learn too!

So Much FUN:

I will be presenting at session C7: "Emergent Writing: Developing Oral Language to Create Successful Writers."  Come and learn how to develop a strong oral language foundation in your littlest learners to facilitate success with writing. This developmentally appropriate session will take you through the steps to meet your students at their own level, differentiate your instruction, and enhance your writing program.

But that's not all... You will also discover tips and tricks that come from teaching for over 40 years! From leaving spaces between words to writing letters from the top down, you will be able to meet every challenge your students might present. And the best part is that they will BEG YOU TO WRITE EVERY DAY! 

This conference is filled with so many diverse topics and presenters from all over the country! You won't want to miss the FUN & GAMES at our Evening Event on Saturday night. "Game Night," which is FREE, is  included with your registration. 

And you won't want to miss the amazing Art Party where you will not only get to view tons of children's art (free directions and lesson plans will be available), but you can also join in on the FUN at the Make & Take Art Tables. I will be managing the "Sunflower" table inspired by Vincent Van Gogh and part of the the Art Party's theme: "I Am An Artist."

And don't forget the Vendor's Hall where you can find everything from games for your classroom to a new t-shirt for YOU! We will be giving away prizes throughout the weekend and EVERYONE wins with a SWAG bag and FREEBIES! ESGI will be there giving away a chance to win a FREE Year of ESGI and Alive Studios will be there with all kinds of augmented reality FUN!

The FUN starts on Friday, January 13 with the Pre-Conference and it continues all day Saturday and Sunday, Jan 14 and 15. Come for 1 day, 2, or 3, but be sure to be there!  CLICK HERE for more info and to register.
