Kinder Conference

I had an amazing weekend....beginning with Friday night when my kindergarten students played harmonic bells, sang a song and recited a poem for an audience of parents, teachers and conference members. They were awesome!

Our art display in the hotel lobby had 108 pieces of mounted art from classrooms throughout California and a few other states plus Canada. I was able to take my student's photos in front of their artwork. After the performance the students were invited to make projects at the art stations. It was an enjoyable evening.

Daughter #1 spent Friday night with me and we used the hot tub and celebrated the beginning of a 3 day weekend. 

Saturday I finished videoing a session just in time to watch the 4th quarter of the 49ers football game at the hotel lobby bar. Another CKA Committee member and I watched the final minutes of the game cheering with the crowd, then mourning what we thought was a sure loss, to dancing in a high 5 celebration with the entire crowd! It took an hour to come down from that adrenaline rush!

The Captain and I went to dinner Saturday night and then finished the evening in the hot tub. Then up early Sunday morning to pack the car and get all my video equipment together for taping the final sessions of the conference. Then home again home again jiggity jig.

I look forward to sleeping in tomorrow.

This was taken at the press conference on Friday afternoon.

Senator Simitian authored the bill that was signed into law making transitional kindergarten happen...and rolling back the CA entrance date for kindergarten. Jerry Brown has cut funding for this bill- but since it is law, it is unclear what will happen. Kinder. reg. begins next month...
