Well today was a VERY long day. Made it to convention this mornin and went by the exhibit hall to check out some more vendors. Theres soooo much stuff! After visiting only 2 booths, I was already feeling overwhelmed. I took a deep breath, said a quick prayer and kept on going. I made it thru about 1/3 of the booths and got caught at the "Math U See" booth. i was listening and watching the guy do his demonstration and I was hooked! It really looks great and seemed like something the girls would enjoy. So, 1 subject down!
I moved on and went to my first workshop. As of right now, I can't even remember what it was on. lol. But I think it was good. I dont think I hated it at least. We broke for lunch and then another workshop. My second workshop wasnt that great. Well, thats sorta not true. Im not sure whether I liked it or not. The lady went so fast I couldnt keep up and so I eventually glazed over and stopped listening. Which is funny because the workshop was on Raising Independent Learners and we talked about ways to help kids learn better (like going at their pace, which she didnt do).
Finally it was my turn to hit the used curriculum sale. Luckily my friend had a pass to go in early and she found the stuff I wanted and put t on hold for me. So when I went in I coukd take my time and browse without feeling too rushed. Wow was it crazy! So many people there and so much material! I posted some pics on my facebook page if you want to see what it was like. By the time I was done at the sale I was so fried and brain dead. We left and got some food and enjoyed a movie back at the house. Tomorrow is day 3! I will be heading home after the last workshop. Thanks to Steve and Katie who kept the kids last night they had fun! And thanks to Sasha who had them today and tonight and tomorrow until I get back! You rock! You guys are seriously the best friends I could ever ask for! Thanks everyone and I'll be posting more tomorrow!
Mya
