Kindergarten Crayons Giveaway! Expo Tickets


Do you have your ticket for Everything's K Expo? If you do thank you for supporting TBA and helping teachers to continue to access professional development. These trainings can continue if we actively support them. The presenters are doing this to help the teaching community and are sharing ideas we know will be useful in your classroom. As the date approaches we have each been given 3 tickets to do a giveaway. If you already purchased a ticket think about participating in this giveaway to hand the ticket to a deserving friend as a gift or your student teacher. Is there someone in your life who cannot afford this? I know that teachers have been hit with drastic budget cuts across the country so please encourage everyone to sign up. I have three tickets to give away and I hope one of them goes to you! I can't wait to see you at the Expo. The goodie bag is full of virtual treats you will love.
What do you need to do?
Leave me a comment telling me why you want this ticket. Easy, right? No other conditions because I want everyone to participate.

    It would be great to be able to attend the expo and learn all about kindergarten from some EXPERTS!! I teach K-1 special education and I am always looking for new ways to teach/introduce concepts to my students. They need lots of repetition and practice to master skills. Thanks for hosting!

    I would also love to have a ticket! I have been going over my budget trying to find some "free money" so I can afford to go, but being a single mommy kinda limits things for me. I would love to glean some new ideas and techniques to help me navigate Common Core and help revitalize this tired ol' dog. :) Thanks for offering such a tremendous prize!

    I would be grateful for the opportunity to participate in the Everything’s Kindergarten Expo. I am new to the blogging world. I have just now found some of the great blogs out there and am gaining valuable information and lessons daily from all of the great teachers out there. I had not even heard about this until today. Being from a school district who has had to cut the professional development budget to a minimum, one of these tickets would allow me the valuable opportunity to watch some of the experts in action and gain valuable knowledge in how to engage students in learning that is enjoyable while still meeting the Common Core Standards. Thank you for offering this to all of us…and best of luck to all!!

I have no real mentor and am one of the only ones at the school with my early childhood endorsement. I have no experienced teachers really to go to for advice/ ideas for kindergarten. I would love the opportunity to learn from seasoned kindergarten teachers and get real ideas to use in my room! Please pick me I really really need this!

    I would love a ticket!! This year has been very overwhelming for me. My district is currently struggling with end of year scores and thus have been asking more and more of us as teachers. I feel so overwhelming with all the new testing, progress monitoring, Professional development, etc. that I have had to add to my already full plate.
    My hope is that by attending this conference I will be reenergized and come away with new ideas.

    I want and NEED this ticket! I teach at a title I school that just celebrated it's 102nd birthday! Our county is very large and quite in debt from building 2 new schools to accommodate all of the incoming students...therefore, there is NOT a lot of money to spare for professional development. I need ideas and ways to collaborate with other teachers outside of my school system and this would absolutely be the most perfect opportunity! I already blog stalk all of you, but to attend the expo and actually get to connect to you all would rock! Not to mention, I could use new ideas and feedback! So pick me, please....I want a ticket sooo bad! :)

I signed up for the expo a couple of weeks ago, but don't remember getting a ticket and am unsure how to log into the expo on the 28th. As you can tell, this is my first online expo. Any info you can give me about logging in will be helpful. I don't want to miss any of it.

    I would love to win a free ticket to this AMAZING event. As the grade level chair and member of my districts instructional leadership team I love receiving and implementing all the new ideas I see on the various blogs I follow. I am so happy that there is a PD opportunity geared to just Kindergarten teachers it is REALLY appreciated!!!

    I love to get new ideas from teachers to jazz up my learning and pass it on to my students. I think you guys are all great. And no need to be nervous. Just think of us home in our underwear (because we can actually do that with a virtual conference, LOL). I love that I can stay at home in my pjs and watch.

    I would love to attend the expo! I teach with a team of 6 K teachers and could share what I learn.

    I would love to win a ticket to the virtual expo. I'm always looking for new ideas to implement into my classroom. I teach in a one unit schools so it's hard to come up with new/creative ideas when your the only K teacher. Thanks!

    Hi Fran,

    I would also LOVE a ticket to the K expo! As a relatively new K teacher, I am always looking for ways to engage my students and keep them wanting to learn. Like many others, I teach in a low income school district with little parent involvement so virtually all learning is on my shoulders. When you become a teacher, no one tells you how much you will spend on materials for you class and with only my income for the last year, you can imagine the stress with a family to support as well! Any extra help/ideas are always welcome!! Thank you!!

    Hi Fram, I would love to win a ticket. I feel that experiencing this would add to my instruction. I am constantly trying to develop new strategies to aid my students in their understanding of the standards in a way that is fun but effective. I have been reading you blog and love when you present at our in services but I can never get enough. I feel that I have gained so much from reading the blog but I never can get enough. I have so many challenging students this year, not just low or EL's but some high students that deserve just the same amount of attention. So, I would love a ticket and I would be more than happy to share with the rest of my grade level. Thanks, Pat (GFS)

    I would L.O.V.E to win a ticket. I am a first year teacher teaching Kindergarten. I am the only Kindergarten teacher in our school and don't get the opportunity for Professional Development opportunities. This would be amazing oppurtunity for me to learn. What a great idea!!

    A very hopeful 1st year teacher,
    Erin

    Picture Donkey from Shrek....that's me...jumping up and down exclaiming "Pick me, Pick me!" Fran, I don't know how you'll ever pick between all of these wonderful teachers, but know that I would love the opportunity to win the Expo ticket also. You are a true inspiration to me. I look to your blog each week for fresh ideas to reinvigorate me and my teaching. With lots of negativity in education right now, you help me remember why I love what I do! :)

    I am a former 4th grade teacher. I absolutely LOVE teaching the Kindergarten students, but I need advice and wisdom from people who have figured out answers to questions I haven't even asked yet!

    Thanks - c.hester@monclovabaptist.org

    Do you remember that spark your first year teaching? Do you remember that exciting feeling when the lesson was new and it worked? I have been in kindergarten the last 16 years and I think my sparkler needs relit!!! Lol. I am feeling the pull of family life, hectic schedules, and want to get excited again!!!
    Thanks

    I would L-O-V-E to win a ticket. I am the kiddo on the carpet going "ooh ooh". I am always looking for professional development that is appropriate to kinder and you fit the ticket. I would love to share the ideas with the other K teacher in my building who is feeling very overwhelmed with the 27 kiddos she has this year.
