Coolest website ever. Are you a teacher or know someone who is? This is where teachers can sell their original material ONLINE to other teachers to use in their classrooms. With all the importance placed on differentiating and creating your own unique materials to use in your classroom, why not share with others? Maybe another teacher hasn't taught the subject before. Maybe they're struggling to create a new way to teach the material. Or maybe they just don't like the material they've been presented and want something else. Either way, you've put effort into your material, why not help others?!
That's where Teachers Pay Teachers comes into play! You can do all of that sharing and helping here! I started my own SPANISH site a while back, and it's been a great hit! I'm so happy to be helping other people, because I've been building my own curriculum for 4 years now. Let me tell you, that is no easy feat! It can be daunting at times, and I'm so honored to be able to help others!
If you'd like to set up your own website, be sure to just note me as the referral! Stephanie Caprini! You're going to do great things!!

Spring Rebound
For those of us in Chicago, Spring is a bit of an illusion. We have 90 degree days followed by 50 degree days. This morning, we awoke to 47 degrees. WOO HOO! Pull the parkas back out because you'll need it this morning.
For those of you with dogs or baby buggies, be sure to prepare for your walk and bundle the babies up properly! It'll get wunny and warmer later, but just not quite yet.
Now, the rebound part: we Chicagoans always bounce back! And with Memorial Day Weekend right in front of us, we have so much to look forward to! Going to be outside? Bring an extra bottle of wine like you did in college and just coat yourself in warmth. Or bring a blanket if you're more practical! :-) Going to be grilling? Get a few good steaks and burgers because people will want to eat hearty food!
Because guess what, Chicago? SUMMER'S ALMOST HERE and 90 plus will be here to stay!

VEGAS BABY!
Just returned from Vegas for a conference, and WOW! What an experience!
Haven't been? MUST go.
Have been? Go again! There's always new stuff to see and fun things to appreciate all over again.
Last year we stayed at the MGM in the regular rooms before they were redone. I heard the new rooms are leaps and bounds better now that they've renovated, but we decided to move anyways. At the last conference, we visited a friend who stayed in the Signature Towers and realized the rooms there had a kitchen! Last year we spent over $100 per person per day on food. This year we decided things would be different.
So we booked a Junior 1 Bedroom at the hotel, and it was the best decision ever. The kitchen came in extremely handy, having made a point of taking a cab to Whole Foods just a few miles down Las Vegas Blvd. For $52 we had beer, wine, and food for breakfast and most lunches for all 3 days! We only had to buy dinner, which made experiencing the good food more enjoyable because we were only spending that kind of money once a day as opposed to every meal.
Additionally, the Signature towers are about a third of the way down the strip, so if you wish to walk anywhere, you cut your walking time a substantial amount. For those who haven't been yet, walking from the MGM Grand to the Wynn (where we ALWAYS to go to get a good vegan meal!) is about an hour and a half walk over about 4 miles. So, therefore, be sure you have good walking shoes on! Bring your heals, but walk in comfort! It's not worth it otherwise!
This time we stopped at a few favorites: the Wynn (and ate at Misumi!), the Venetian (and ate in St. Mark's Square!), and, of course, saw the Bellagio fountain show! We also made a point of stopping in Paris, which I loved! It reminded me of being back on the Parisian streets, and the Moulin Rouge parade they have right around 7pm is so fun! The girls come out in a conga line in their dealer corsets and make their way to the tables where they are to deal. Clearly, the show is meant to entice gamblers to the table, and its a very effective method! We all just stood and watched the conga line and then it was like people in trances went to sit at the tables. ....maybe there was a subliminal message in the song? Who knows!
And, as always, be sure to budget for your trip and your gambling! Viva las Vegas!
