eTech Conference
I heard Adora Svitak speak at the Ohio eTech Conference. She is a twelve year old girl who has published 3 books, spoken to audiences of thousands and has been featured on Oprah. She gave us a kid's eye view of a technologically innovative classroom. I met Adora and bought her book Dancing Fingers. I have decided that I want to be like Adora when I grow up:) Find out more about this amazing girl by following her blog Adora's Blog.
I was so lucky to attend the conference with these
amazing colleagues!
It was so fun to share my blog and ideas with other teachers across the state. Thanks to the Madeira Bunch for all your support before, during and after my presentation!!

Greetings From Room 131!!
Michael from my morning class is spending a couple of months in Brechenridge, Colorado with his family playing in the snow. Today is his birthday and his kindergarten friends wanted to let him know that we hope he has a great day!
Mrs. Weisgerber has been out on medical leave and we wanted to let her know that we are thinking of her and hope that she is feeling better.

Snow + Shapes = Octagon Snowmen
It is cold and snowy, so we are writing, reading and crafting about it. We are also studying shapes. Combine the two together and you get octagon snowmen. We read All You Need For A Snowman and let our creative ideas start flowing.
