A few things to share

[Pernille Ripp]

Good evening from beautiful Sun Prairie,

Amazing that we are only in July and already I am seeing connections being made on the Edmodo groups.  Make sure you are reaching out and asking questions whenever you are ready.  

I will be at ILA - the International Literacy Association conference - in St. Louis Friday through Monday and will be presenting on the Global Read Aloud Satudrday at 4:45 PM.  If any of you are there I would love to meet you!  I am so excited to be going and to learn from so many amazing people.  

I am working on updating shirts for the year, I am not sure if there is any interest in those?  I also thought about getting stickers for people to get.  

Here is some other helpful (hopefully) information for this year - forgive me if you already know all of this,
