EDUCATIONAL FUN in the GOOD OLE
SUMMER TIME
As an
amazing summer starts slipping away I want to share a little piece of my world
in July and give you information for July 2014………………just one year away. If you plan to treat yourself to an amazing conference
somewhere in this big world keep in touch with FROG STREET.
In my
OPINION, it is the best conference in the entire USA. They have a Pre-K curriculum that is
outstanding and each member of their staff has the best attitude about their
Froggie world.
Meet the Frog Street Leaders:
Bill, Jay, Sharon, Ron, Amy
A group dedicated to the value of a great early childhood education for all children.
There is
always an area for photo shoots and it is a busy place during the whole conference. Special times are set up to get photos with Fannie and Fernando.
Workshops are conducted by some of my favorite people. Check out the group……….many of these people are part of the original DREAM TEAM gathered by Ron Chase, Sharon Burnett and Pam Schiller.
The world of Pre-K educational resources changed and offers the best of the best.
Thursday is
an intensive day filled with make/take experiences, Curriculum instructions and
seeing old friends.
Pete the Cat producer Michael Levine rocked the stage with his music and visuals about how Pete the Cat has become a household name. Michael is the musical master of "The Learning Groove!" His music is the music that thousands of children and teachers are singing every day.
Thursday
evening is always an invitation for everyone to jive and jam with Don Monolopi,
Stephen Fite, Mary Jo Huff, Frog Street’s newest crooner Jay, Shawn Brown. Upper right is Don with Mary Jo and the bottom left is Don and Stephen acting like Sonny and Cher.....so funny. The middle has Don, Stephen and Jay. The two upper right pictures are Greg and Steve having some fun. Mary Jo is in the bottom rt. corner telling a fun story about Rabbit and Snake with the audience.
Late night fun captured all the techie enthusiast even some in their pajamas. Debbie Clement blasted my mind with her internet expertise................I don' t have enough brain left to even absorb all the daily changes in this area of our world.
Friday
begins a full day of workshops geared for educational connections and invites
to learn the best there is from the best presenters to be found. There are Keynotes and give-a-ways galore.
Friday
evening ALL attendees are treated to a sit down dinner, live music, huge
give-a-ways……..I mean dollars, big dollars and even a free registration for the
following year. The staff at Frog Street
is introduced and the owners are given a standing ovation. The music plays on and on but this lady
retired for the evening because my 3 workshops were all scheduled on Saturday.
What a
thrill to see the room fill up with anxious Early Childhood Educators……………that
is a big crank for me and I seem to talk faster and faster because I have so
much to say and so many ideas to share.
Two new
workshops were introduced this year and will become part of what I can do.
Catching a
6:00 a.m. flight at the Dallas airport gave me time to take a nap on the way to
Detroit. It is always good to come home
but when you have a Frog Street experience under your skin you keep an itching
to return and start making plans for the following year.
So, YOU ALL make plans to have the best time of your life in San Antonio, TX in 2014. Keep
in touch with the web site www.frogstreet.com
Watch my web
site for some new information. I have
put together several programs that can come to you via SKYPE. I will come to you as an IN-HOUSE-FIELDTRIP.
We are
working out the kinks and then I am ready to be aired by hundreds of kids
across the waves………………bringing a special, unique presentation filled with
music, movement, stories (some old and some original), poems, puppets and
finger plays. All presentations align
with CCSS and Early Childhood Foundations.
Watch for a
preview. I will come to you with over 35 years of exciting, educational fun and I still have a passion and excitement about telling stories with children.
