I Got to Meet My Heroes!

The opportunity to attend NCTE and ALAN was amazing. I spent six days getting to meet my heroes. The people who inspire me from their classrooms all over the country! We got a chance to talk about what we do! They inspire me and they make me a better teacher! Who gets to meet their heroes? I also got to meet many authors!! Each one was kind and generous with their time and their conversations. Spending time talking with wonderful authors and talented teachers is time well spent. I missed YOU, my students, but I feel recharged. Check out some of the pictures from the conference…

“Today, my positive actions will speak louder than all of my words.”

We just left an amazing talk! I feel inspired. When we got back to class we listened to Luther’s favorite song. It will forever make me smile. As we were walking back to the classroom, the students were saying, “It was so sad, but a good kind of sad.” We decided that we felt inspired. I want to hold onto this feeling as long as I can. I want to see it come alive in our classrooms and hallways and homes and our community. Here’s my question to you? How? How can we do this? What can I do to honor Chris? What can you do? What will you do?  Thank you Silent Strength!
