The presentation went really well! I am very happy with the turnout for my presentation. We were told to plan on 50 participants (which I did, but honestly only thought I would get 3) and ended up getting well over 70 people! It was crazy! I had people sitting on the floors and standing in the back just to listen to me talk about Student Math Portolios! It was really cool and I got a lot of awesome feedback. I spent about an hour last night e-mailing people back who came to the presentation and wanted more information. It was really really cool.
The rest of the conference rocked! I am feeling so re-energized for Monday and can't wait to implement some new ideas in my class. I just can't believe how awesome every presentation was. I even won 2 door prizes Friday!
They also had a pi mile race Thursday after all the sessions ended and I WON!! It was really exciting and I got a free shirt out of it.
What shocked me the most was the amount of crazy math people that showed up! It was nice to know that I'm not alone in my love of teaching math (I knew I wasn't, just haven't met many people who share the same affinity for numbers and adolescents as I do). Anyway, I'm already looking forward to next year and trying to think of a new topic to present.
Yea! Go Math! :-) This comic kinda sums up my presentation. Tee Hee...

NO, he wanted me to go, but we had to wait for board approval and I did not get it until Wednesday afternoon and I had to leave after school Wednesday.
Great work on the race! Sorry I didn't call this weekend - trying to relax and just chill. I will call you tonight after my appointment and let you know what the news is!!!!!
