Shirlene's First Early Childhood Conference


Well, it was a success.  Our first USU/UAEYC Early Childhood Playshop was held Saturday and I am thrilled to say...it exceeded my expectations.  We hoped for at least five registrants.  We got 57!  That is a great showing for the basin.

Betsy was kind enough to come out and present on the importance of play!

And, we tried to emphasize that point even more as the teachers played.

My "bestest" students sat all together!

We saw lots of smiles which was good.

I got to present on Writing in Preschool.
 

Hopefully I was successful at convincing the attendees how important writing is!
 

These teachers didn't even get to rest at lunch.  They ate and made sandwich shop kits.  Not a single teacher complained.  Why?  Well, because teachers never get to rest at lunch.  This is a typical day!

It was great to see the support of teachers who really want to serve our children well.
