Viva Las Vegas Part 2

From Amy and Lisa's Point of View

So, Monday through Thursday we attended our conference.   Ok, so we might have done a few things that might not be considered sessions.   But they were educational, right?

Last year, we went to the conference.  So, we knew we were headed back to see a few of our very favorite teachers from all over the country.

We hoped Laura would love the conference.    After all, she was in full-court press Mom mode trying to get her oldest off to college soon.

We went to see these amazing teachers at work.   And, boy howdy, do they work hard!

Believe it or not, they do not all say y'all?    But we didn't discriminate.  

Recognize these awesome teachers?  We bet you do.

Rachelle from What the Teacher Wants

Hope from Second Grade Shenanigans

Kathleen from Growing Kinders

Cara from The First Grade Parade

Erica from Erica's Ed-Ventures

Deanna from Mrs. Jump's Class

Mr. Greg and The Mister from Kindergarten Smorgasbord

Celine Dion

Celine Di-OFF

We got up at 5 in the morning to see the ever-so-charming and talented Marc Brown.   Our favorite quote from him, "If I ran the zoo, all teachers would make more money than movie stars because what they do is so much more important."   Marc is the creator of Arthur.   But you already knew that.

What we learned:
Teachers excited about learning and teaching!

We wish we could be in the classes of  Rachelle, Hope, Mr. Greg and so many others!  

We never get tired of hugs.

We like Sprinkles cupcakes.   Which doesn't surprise us because we love glitter.

Laura and Amy are too old for this many days and nights in Vegas.

We like to chat it up with the waiter at Rao to find out the celebrity scoop.

Oh, we are getting off track…….again.


What we missed:

Sonic Happy Hour

Celine Di-OFF

Our own beds

Elevator-free days

Most of all, our sweet families back in the Lone Star State.
