Monday Meet Up

I am linking up with The Teaching Tribune for Monday Meet Up. Today I am introducing you to a fellow kindergarten teacher at my school, and friend, Brittany Banister.

A few more things you might like to know about Brittany are:

-she has two children: Porter and Claire (pictured with Brittany above)

-she enjoys spending time with her husband and two kiddos

-she is a University of Southern Indiana graduate

-she manages two blogs. One alone, and one with a good friend, Tiffany Copple. For great ideas on tech integration, check out their blog 2 Techie Teachers.

-she will be presenting at Digipalooza 2014 in Scottsburg, IN this summer. Click here to get more information on the conference. (Sidenote: I will also be presenting, as well as our good friend Jena Hudson from Sew Much Music. You do NOT want to miss out on this conference.)

-Brittany has a ton of resourceful items available on her TPT store. Be sure to check them out here.

Spring Teacher Blogger Meet Up

I had the wonderful opportunity this past weekend to attend a spring blogger meet up at the gorgeous French Lick Resort with 50+ other teacher bloggers. This was something that was completely done on each of our own time and money, and was completely worth it. I was able to meet teacher bloggers from around my state, Indiana, and from other states in the U.S. It really is a wonderful thing when you get to meet up with others who understand what your job is like and what you go through day to day. It is an even better thing when you get to bounce ideas off of other teachers. I came away with some wonderful friendships, and with access to blogs with great ideas.

Here are a few pictures from the weekend...

 This blogger meet up would not have been possible without the wonderful Holly Ehle (pictured far left). She coordinated this entire event, and I can't wait to meet up again in the future.

Thanks, Holly!

There were some very generous sponsors for this event. To name a few, Vera Bradley, Kaeden, Jamberry, Scentos, Erin Condren, SDE, Crayola, and Schoolgirl Style.
