It was the last night of sessions, at a social event, and THERE they were, finally! Mickey and Minny! So I had to take a picture with them. They never spoke but they were very kind to us.

And now I'm home enjoying our break. It's nice to be home, but leaving Florida with 78 degree temperatures and returning to 36 degrees, makes me want to go back to FL.

Today (Monday), I am unpacking my suitcase and going through a ton of emails I missed while I was gone. Then I'm working on some lesson planning. I need to go into school to print some worksheets, but I'm scared our room is going to be a mess. I hope not. Then I want to put up the Christmas tree this week too, and go to my Dad's for Thanksgiving dinner.

I brought back a couple things for our class. Some authors in the exhibit hall were giving away free books, so I snatched as many that would fit in my suitcase.  ;-)

Enjoy time with your families! See you soon---next Monday Nov. 29th.

All this time in Disneyworld, I have not seen Mickey . .or Minney or Donald Duck or ANY of the characters!! Just teachers. Lots and lots of teachers.
Last night we went to Downtown Disney to eat dinner and shop. I bought a little present for our class at the largest Disney store in the world.
I have a technology meeting this morning that I need to get to QUICK!! Thanks for all the messages. I'm really glad you are behaving and I'm REALLY happy that you are looking forward to more teamwork on Monday! That's great! I know if we set our minds to it, we can achieve those Golden Awards, I just know it!!!!

Hi Class!
I'm learning lots of stuff! First I learned about ethics of writing online then I had a session on kids creating video games, which was really cool, but geared more towards middle school and high school. They talked about the good things you can learn from playing certain video games. It makes me want to bring my wii to school so we can play Rockband and Dance Dance Revolution.  The last session was about planning inservices for teachers.  Now I'm waiting for another session to start about Youth Voices in Writing---should be a good one!

I hope you're being kind and respectful students with Ms. B. thanks for the messages. I don't know what I could possible bring back for you, everything is SO expensive. I'll go broke buying trinkets for each of you and then I might have to stay here. ha ah ha

I will be flying home on Sat. See you Monday November 29th! Read read read! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Hi Students! I made it here, very late, got lost, but I'm safe and in my class right now. Thanks Georgio for the message. I hope you guys have a great day!!

I will post more news and maybe some pictures later today. It's almost 80 degress already
