Well today I leave for Columbus, OH and the Midwest Conference on Differentiated Instruction. It will be a bang up time! Actually, I am hoping for a wealth of good information.
I will get to see my good friends Becky, her husband Nick (hopefully, Nick is a baby doc so...schedule is a little iffy) and their baby Henry aka Hank the Tank. Becky is coincidentally attending the same conference, hopefully some of the same sessions.
I was trying to think of things to blog about today and it hit me. AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION or in the education world...ACTIVE PARTICIPATION.
OK...so I want to know about my readers' favorites. What are some of your favorite things.
I will start.

Obscure list in no particular order, and I could go on and on, I love so many things about life! Tell me as many or as few as you like and I challenge those of you who never post to POST. If you need a tutorial on posting check the archives from April or May. LOL :P
Much Peace and Love

Denise,
Do you remember painting a little baby girls toenails red. I have pictures of those tiny little toes! Oh so cute! Maybe next week you can paint them red again! And of course she can not wait for her cousin Denise to french braid her hair! She can't wait to see pics of her two little cousins too! She can hardly wait to see Harrison! That is all she is talking about! Hanging with her cousin's aunt, and grandma. Should be a fun week! Spending time with the ones you love and miss throughout the year!
Love and see you soon!
