If you ever get
the chance to go to a conference in Orlando – GO!!! It’s the best place for a conference in the world. I just returned from the NAEYC
Conference and it was awesome.
Attendance was down, which is not surprising, but the enthusiasm of the
teachers was up. Loved, loved,
loved meeting all the teachers from across the United States and other
countries. That’s why I do what I
do! And I would do anything to
help you enjoy your job and help give children a smile and a happy
childhood!!! And that’s the truth
from the bottom of my heart!
We were blessed
with great weather, and I was blessed to get to present with my daughter
Holly. Of course, Kalina and K.J.
came along and got a taste of “Disney Magic.” My husband had a special day at Universal Studios with K.J.
and now my husband can’t stop talking about the Harry Potter ride. It must be out of this world!

We stayed at the Hilton
Convention Center and it was incredible!
The facilities, pools, views, and food were outstanding. But, it was the friendly staff that
made our trip so wonderful. From
the parking attendant to the housekeeper to the front desk…everybody had a smile
and acted like they were happy to be working there and making our visit a
memorable one. Those people
probably all have problems like the rest of us, but they put a smile on their
faces and did their jobs. Every
day when you go in the classroom you have to be part actor or actress. Leave your worries outside, put a smile
on your face, and act like you are luckiest teacher in the world! Pretend like it’s going to be the best
day ever and your feelings will follow!!!
Orlando is a magical place. I am from Daytona Beach, Florida and we visit Orlando just about every month. Since we visit so often, sometimes we take it for granted how "magical" it really is there. It was so nice to read your post and see how much you and your family enjoyed it there. I can't wait for the SDE Florida Kindergarten Conference which is in Orlando at the beginning of December. The only thing that would make it better was if you were presenting there this year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all your wonderful ideas!
This is so great to hear! My boyfriend works at the Convention Center and he will be happy to know that your experience at the convention was wonderful. Unfortunately with my busy teaching schedule I didn't get to go but since they hold many education conferences I'm always in the loop!
