I took this picture on my way in to the Winter Institute on Wednesday, January 31. This was right at the exit....yes, I pulled over to take the picture. I am a rules follower!
I thought it was so beautiful. I was so energized and ready to take on the activities waiting for us at Institute.
The drive was far for me....2 hours....but during that time, I reflected on how lucky I am to be a part of this amazing journey!
Once I got in the building, I felt the tide turn.
I could tell something was wrong.
So much disappointment about not being able to move forward with the research project.
I cannot lie.
I, too, am disappointed. But......we move forward......
On a happy note, I left winter institute, got in my car, and drove to South Carolina where I met up with my dear friends, Kelli Coons and Christin Edge. What fabulous women, and such an amazing EdCamp!!!!
Here are some pictures!
I spoke about Jennie's book to a group who never heard of it.....I was proud to represent!!
I also learned about Heather's book from Christin, I purchased one on Amazon, and I'm giving it as a prize at my school!
Keeping it all in the family!
Yes, Dee, I also printed copies of your #smashboardEDU and shared with my colleagues!!!
The very best part of Winter Institute???????
What an awesome experience in SC. I followed some of the action on twitter. I too am a little disappointed with the news of next year but very pleased to have had the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteYou continue to inspire us all! Not mentioned, you gave me a ride to the airport from Institute and told me more history of the areas we drove through. Your teachers are blessed to have you as their Coach!
