This weekend, I had the opportunity to attend the Alabama Kindergarten Conference in Huntsville, AL. This conference was awesome. I had the opportunity to listen to several wonderful speakers, such as Peggy Campbell-Rush, Susan Stevens Crummel, and Janet Stevens. These women were very inspirational. Janet Stevens and Susan Stevens Crummel,sibling illustrators/authors, read and demonstrated how to read several of their books. They showed us how they came up with the idea for the story Plaidypus Lost. Janet Stevens informed us that we should not delay doing something that we are passionate about.
Peggy Campbell-Rush is currently a kindergarten teacher and an author. She provided several strategies for teaching kindergarten and reading. She also demonstrated several games to play with the students. I enjoyed her presentation so much that I bought her book.
I can't wait until school starts so that I can tell my students about meeting these wonderful authors.
