I would like to thank all of you that attended my sessions.  If you have any questions about the ideas and lessons that I shared, please do not hesitate to email me.  I will be posting some additional lessons on my website in the future, so check back and look for those when you get a chance.  Let me know if you use any of the ideas with your students.  I would love to see some student work samples and find out if you had success with the activities.

Please let me know what topics you would like presented at next year’s conference.  You know that we are already planning….
