Vegas...Making All Kinds of New Friends
I am sending a quick note today from Vegas to let you now that this conference is fabulous and I have made new friends from all over the country. I had my picture taken with Dr. Jean and my heart was pounding just being so close to her and she turned to me and said, "Can you help me with a problem I'm having with my blog?" I almost died! I have met her many times but the power of this little blonde lady never deminishes for me! I will share lots of activities at the end of the week but so far the highlight for me was meeting another blogger and I went crazy when she told me who she was. I will post an adorable picture when I get home. So she says, "I can't believe you're kindergarten crayons!" and five more people turn around to see who I am. I was so embarrased but everyone was so sweet and there was a lot of hugging and chatting.
I took a blogging class the next morning and she shoots my blog up on her screen! Seriously, I could not believe it and I finally had the guts to tell her that was my blog. Today is Wednesday and I am going to meet Kim Adsit and listen to her presentation. I can't wait! So I will post photos when I get home...promise.
Miss being a part of Blog Land but I can't wait to share.

So exciting. I teach 3rd now and still have my kids Tooty-Taing...I think that's a verb, right?

Glad you are having a great time! I met Dr. Jean many years ago at one of her conferences. I was awestruck! Hope the rest of your time is wonderful!

Sounds like you are having a great time! Well deserved I might add! But.... Why would YOU be in a blogging class?? ;-) Enjoy! Can't wait to see what you've been up to.
How awesome that Dr. Jean knew who you were and asked for your help with her blog! You are FAMOUS!!

Wish I'd gotten to meet up with you---was looking at all the strangers I met 'just to check' :). I am now happily home (I got there Saturday night because my friend was presenting first thing Monday, and we were worried that getting there Sunday would risk being delayed and left this morning at 4:30 Vegas time). Am SO tired, but am so full of ideas! :)

So glad you are being recognized for all of your hard work! Dr. Jean came to our school in April and she is awesome!
To quote two of Dr. Jean's cheers: WOW! What an a-w-e-s-o-m-e highlight to your Vegas trip! In the kindergarten world, Dr. Jean is like the President. She is also so super nice, using all her down time to talk and take photos with her visitors. Writing a blog like yours takes dedication, which we all appreciate, including her!!
I'd love to see a day by day photo/post. You are a blog rock star! Can't wait to read your posts.
I am so happy for you.
Sounds like you must feel like a "kid in a candy store"..LOL
Can't wait to read all about your adventures.

I flew out of Vegas on a 6 a.m. flight myself. I loved my time in the midst of so much enthusiasm!!!
Dr. Jean's presentation was awesome, but I wasn't as fortunate as I have no picture with her to commemorate the experience.
I gave two presentations that were very well recieved and they sold out of all of my picture book, "You're Wonderful" and my newest CD as well. I met K teachers from around the globe and hope that we are able to follow up with author visits to their schools. BIG SMILE~~
Hi Fran!
I miss you! So glad that the "blogging teacher" was using YOUR Blog"! Typical. That is why YOU should be presenting at this conference. Have a great time and can't wait to hear it all! Love Helen
