Today was a wonderful day to be a part of the SCEA To Teach is to Lean Children's Foundation Fall Conference. The conference is held in Columbia, South Carolina. Teachers from around the state gather to share their best practices and expertise. I was asked to participate this year and I had a wonderful time.
