What an uplifting, motivating afternoon! The blogger meet-up was fabulous! We met at Red Robin (I've never been before but highly recommend the Cobb salad now) and ate and talked and laughed. We shared stories about blogging- when we started and why. We talked about TPT, what we create and how. And of course Common Core. Let me extend a heartfelt "thank you!" to everyone who was there this afternoon. I really enjoyed meeting all of you. Here are some pictures of our oh-so-fun afternoon:
 |
| First Grade- Hadar, Tammy, Traci, Kathy, and me |
 |
| 2nd Grade- Hadar and Kate |
 |
| Kindergaten- Kristy, Fran, and Michelle |
 |
| The Whole Group- Michelle, Kate, Layla, Traci, Kristy, Hadar, Fran, Kathy, Tammy, Molly, and me |

Unfortunately I missed the picture of Molly and Layla, but they were the 2 4th grade teachers.
Here are their blogs for you to check out if you haven't already:

What is it about bloggers and meeting up that is so fantastic? I had an amazing time with all of you and have so much respect for your teaching skills. You guys are making a real difference in the world of education and I loved spending an afternoon we you. I feel like we could have spent an entire weekend together. I learn so much, I laugh so much, and then when I reflect on this I feel overwhelmed by your commitment to teaching and your love for it.
