South Carolina Blogger Meet-Up
Saturday afternoon, I was invited to join some amazing teacher bloggers! We met at the California Dreaming restaurant in downtown Columbia, S.C. (yes, the morning of a BIG gamecock game!). I loved finally meeting these ladies face to face and enjoyed some “real” talk about what was happening in our classrooms. The food was delicious, but the fellowship was the icing on the cake…or wait, was that the homemade cupcakes?! hehe Either way it was a blast!
Below is a list of us ladies that were there. Please stop by and pay their page a visit- they have some wonderful ideas!
Autumn, Ashley, and Tammy from Fanatical in First Grade
Kim (starting her blog next summer)
Ginger from Gingersnaps Treats for Teachers
Elizabeth from Fun in 4B
Gretchen from Always a Lesson
Hope from 2nd Grade Shenanigans
Dana from 3rd Grade Gridiron
Shasta from The Loop
Heather and Juli from Simple In Second
Amanda from Teaching Maddeness
Amber from Adventures of a Third Grade Teacher
Rachel from The Tattooed Teacher
Elisabeth from Twins, Teaching and Tacos
Rebecca from Landing in K
Natalie from Teachery Tidbits
Lacie from Polka Dots & Pencils
Thanks to all of these ladies for coming out to support our teaching blogger network! I plan on organizing another one in the Spring here in Charlotte. I’d love for anyone interested in teaching or blogging to join!
About the author, Gretchen
I am a teacher trainer and coach. Working elbow to elbow with teachers and teacher leaders to ensure instructional proficiency and student achievement soar lights me up. We have a real need in our nation for strong educators to remain in the field. My blog, book, podcast, courses and instructional materials are geared towards empowering teachers (and those that lead them) to receive the support needed to grow and thrive today, tomorrow and always.
I had such a blast at the meetup yesterday, but am bummed we didn’t get a chance to chat! Looking forward to keeping up with you Carolina girls…and the next meetup!
