So, DJ, how was the conference? OMG! I’ve been so busy with Thanksgivukkah, (the once-in-70,000- year-collision of Thanksgiving and Hanukkah) I never sat down to write about that week! So much to catch up on, so little time!
For me, the highlight of my conference experience was the
number of new friends I made walking through the expo. First and foremost, I was thrilled to see
Judy Mcguinn and Jay Lerman from Discount School Supply. They’ve added some awesome new product lines
and still have the same level of great customer service! Did you know they have a huge line of
products for children with special needs, too?

I met Jonathon Freiden from Constructive Playthings. What a
great guy! They are committed to great
customer service, and did a great job working with one of my directors right
then and there. Never too busy to chat, Jonathon wants to help our schools, and
encourages feedback about products and services. www.ustoyco.com.

I found such wonderful puzzles and fun games at
ToutAboutToys. Linda Kahrs and hubby
seek only the best open ended materials for their company. They told me they are a small organization
that wants to be your one-stop shop for school materials. Check out their site to see what they
have! I spent lots of time (and money)
in their booth, but loved what I found!
Check out this magnetic toy board.

I fell in love with some new ideas for the classroom. Kore Design has wobble chairs, which are
great for helping wiggly people focus. I
WANT ONE! Check it out! www.korestool.com
The folks at Community Playthings now have an outdoor shed
that is awesome! www.communityplaythings.com/products/outdoor OK, so it’s $3100, but hey, it comes with
crates and a wheelbarrow!
If you have never been to a NAEYC conference, you owe it to
yourself to go. The next annual conference will be December 5-8, 2014 in Dallas, Texas! I look forward to seeing y’all there!
