Saturday (I think!)

This past week has been so goofy, I'm not even sure what day of the week it is! We were to report for breakfast at 6:30 this morning. Actually, I was a little late. We'd been having trouble with the door to our bathroom in our room. It's a sliding door and seemed to want to go off the track. It did this morning for Christine. Neither of us could get it open , so I called the front desk and they finally sent a guy up. When we got home tonight, I think they put a whole new door there. We're not taking any chances and will leave the door open enough so that we can slide through!

The plenary session this morning was superb. It opened up so many opportunities for learning that we can incorporate for our students. The keynote speakers were OK. I worked the CIPE booth at the Expo then and Christine went to a session that had some really great leads for information for us to use.

We found a nice Irish restaurant to eat lunch after some walking. Kathy (from Texas) and Mary (from North Carolina) went with us.

The afternoon sessions were interesting. The first one I attended was good. The second one was OK, but it went too long and got too boring. After those sessions, we went back to the Expo and had the chance to really get to know some of the teachers who are attending the same workshop we are.

We headed back on the trolley and Christine and I went to the Lakeshore teacher store that is right beside the hotel. Christine made some major purchases, but I am still window shopping. We then had dinner at Joe's Crab Shack. It was a long but interesting Saturday! We learned a lot and networked with teachers from around the US for ideas and to share stories.

My camera is acting iffy when I try to download pictures. I'm going to save the pictures to download at a later date and hope it works.

We have spent one weekend day to learn a lot and it was fun and we learned a lot. Tomorrow promises to be another interesting day!
