Elevate! St. Paul

I got to attend the Elevate conference in St. Paul last week! I've done the online version for a couple of summers, but I've always REALLY wanted to go experience it "live". I was lucky enough to have my district send me and two of my teammates, as well as my amazing principal, leadership coach, and curriculum director.

Started out with some AMAZING swag and got to sing and dance with Jack Hartman and PreK to 2nd grade teachers from all over the country.

Loved hearing Jack Hartman. He had so many really inspirational quotes.

My favorite sessions were with Mary Amason. I went to one about games, and another about integrating Science and Social Studies into my day. I've already purchased, printed, and cut out her "School Rules" unit. I can't wait to use that unit, and so many of of her ideas in my classroom this year.
