IRA 2014~New Orleans!

The International Reading Conference is in New Orleans this year and it is just days away, May 9-12th. Are you going? 

I AM!!!!

Sorry, let me pull myself together! I'm just a bit excited to learn from The Sisters, Joy Cowley, Chris Lehman, and about a gazillion others! 

@IRA

I'm a little tickled to think about sitting in the author luncheon with Mary Pope Osborne! Helloooo Magic Treehouse!

I'm over the moon to be spending Mother's Day in the Big Easy with a beignet in one hand and an autographed children's book in the other! 

Ok, I'm calm. :)

If you are going (and I hope you are!) I'd love to meet! In fact, my Twitter pal Heidi from HeidiSongs and I are hosting a little Primary Meet and Tweet! If you are a preschool or kindergarten teacher, you should absolutely check her out! If you are heading to the conference, go to her session! She also made the super cute graphic below! 

So, as it turns out, a meet and tweet is a little get together where some people tweet. If you are not a Twitter person, you can still come!! If you are not a primary teacher, you can still come, too! This is just a chance to say hello and connect! It is all about connections people! Come hang out with us in the Tweet Suite (Exhibit Hall, Booth 1056) at 1:00 on Saturday!

If you can't make the conference this year, I have great news for you! I'll be live tweeting, posting to FB and IG, AND blogging about my experience. Such a geek, I know! See you at #IRA14!
