Afternoon 6-29

Monday afternoon, our last Monday and my eportfolio seems to be complete, woo hoo!! :) Today we wrapped up a lot of things today and it felt really good. We've had so many things in progress and now its all starting to come together which is a cool feeling. I must decide what to share tomorrow and make sure we have our collaborative piece. In the morning we went over our professional development chart and then discussed the upcoming conferences and all that. I am honored to be asked to be a presenter for NDW and I am looking forward to this great event.
I feel at a loss for words because this has gone so quickly and I am looking forward to having time to really soak up all that I learned and experienced. I have a feeling tomorrow at Table Rock will be an amazing conclusion to an extremely fast paced but exhilirating couple of days. Perhaps more later when my mind is a little less cloudy. Below is the group piece we shared on Friday at Coffee Underground:
