I spent the last weekend at the FPEA convention (Florida statewide). What a wonderful weekend! Why? Because my darling family treated me to 4 WHOLE DAYS in a deluxe hotel room by myself! OK, I did have to answer some texts with questions about Spanish from DD, but other than that....
I look forward to the convention every year because I leave the schedule behind and relax. I don 't have much curricula to buy anymore--if we haven't figured out what works by 10th grade, we might as well give up!
My favorite session this year was one by Jean Burk on SAT prep. Her approach was to treat the SAT like a logic puzzle---now THAT we can do! My favorite down time part was having dinner with other friends from the PPEA. It's really interesting how everyone chooses something different as their best moment...even if they were in the same lecture!
And now, it's off to bed, because I'm teaching a class for Girl Scouts in the morning...and I have to be in Tampa before I've usually finished the paper and breakfast!
Feeling blessed, how about you?
