At the end of the day everyone loves polka dotted maps!



I had the best time with a bunch of kindergarten teachers from another district. They were so smart, so real, and so funny. I made them do a million routines and they were such good sports and we had a blast. Every time a presented an idea someone talked about how to differentiate the activity or another way to hit the same standard. We sang, we danced, we chatted, we ate lunch together and at the end of the day (I was exhausted from presentation anxiety) we left as friends. Wanna know why? Cause kindergarten teachers are the best! They roll with the punches, they laugh at their own mistakes, and they love new ideas. By the way I brought billions of things for them to make but the Thinking Maps mobile was the hit of the day! We all love cute.
A big shout-out to these guys for making my day so much fun. I walked away with more ideas than I brought.

Bring it on Kristin! I would never get any work done. You know how to make me laugh so hard... I would love to work with you too! We would have a blast. So what if the kids get nothing out of it... always next year- right? (okay, just kidding)

Hummmm a giveaway. I can't stand the millions of conditions to those things. Hadar lives in my neighbor so I'm thinking she might get one next time we have coffee. I'm thinkin' others might like this. Hummmm

This would be soooo much better than the maps currently hung in my room per district direction. They are the ones directly from the company and not cute or kinder room acceptable. So I'm just wondering what one would need to do to get these. I'm pretty close to you, I could visit :)
I missed the So Cal meet up and was pretty bummed when you all posted how great it was. I'll definitely make the next one!

Wow, you guys are needing this. Okay it is on my list and maybe a mobile giveaway would be super fun with lots of winners. I hate to lose anything.
Just ask Teeny Tiny Teacher. She'll tell ya!

I can understand your comments about giveaways. I kindof avoid entering them when they have too many conditions. Could you just offer it on TpT and TN? I am sure we would all pay for a copy Fran! I know I would! :) You already give away so much!

Dee said...

I'd buy them too! Of course winning them would be nice too...lol I WANT THOSE!!
