Of course, you can quote anything you'd like from my post (thanks for asking!). I have to admit, I'm a little star-struck right now... kudos to you for putting together such fun & educational presentations! Keep it up & I'll keep e-stalking you (don't worry, in a good way)! :o)Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987593459330464939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088016875993864491.post-77025929480673001952008-10-31T04:30:00.000-04:002008-10-31T04:30:00.000-04:00Hello Emily,Thanks for the Shout-Out.As you know, ...Hello Emily,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the Shout-Out.<BR/><BR/>As you know, it is a real challenge to break adult-sized topics down into kid-sized bites and then to craft the information into an engaging presentation. <BR/><BR/>The thing is I have as long as I need (usually 6 to 18 months) to build my programs and so I'm amazed by teachers with their ability to generate daily lesson plans. Now that's pressure.<BR/><BR/>So, when I get a compliment from a teacher, it registers with extra impact. <BR/><BR/>I loved your "How I've learned to handle first graders" post. It is right on the money ~ exactly the same strategies I find most useful with audiences peopled with 200 K-6 graders.<BR/><BR/>Thanks too for the links to my websites above. Here is one more, www.SoapBubbler.com . It is the largest non-commercial site about bubbleology on the 'net. I created it with teachers in mind. After all...<BR/><BR/>You can learn a lot from a bubble!<BR/><BR/>You might like to keep an eye out for the newspaper magazine American Profile (it is the Parade magazine for smaller markets). Look for a full page with interview and photos (both already done) sometime in the next couple of months. <BR/><BR/>In forums like yours I always like to acknowledge Ms. J. my resource room teacher for most of elementary school. In Ms. J's closet sized classroom I learned the skills that made it possible for me to keep up with my "regular" classmates ~ right through college. (Yes, I've gone back to tell her so.)<BR/><BR/>May I quote some of what you had to say about my work? I'll include a link back here of course.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again. Happy Halloween!<BR/><BR/>Keith<BR/><BR/>Email: RIBubbleGuy@yahoo.com<BR/>www.BubbleArtist.com<BR/>www.KeithMichaelJohnson.com<BR/>www.SoapBubbler.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
