FEA State!

FEA State was on Thursday, November 12, 2009. It was really fun! Our Future Educator's Association Club just started this year, thanks to Kelsey Minto (: So we are a fairly small group. We could only take 7 people with us because we didn't quite have enough people to take a bus. We took a van instead. On the way there we cut out slips of paper for Teacher Appreciation Week. We had papers made that said "All you have done mint a lot to us" and we attached a mint to the paper and then each day of the week we put a different slip in the teacher's mailboxes with attached candy. Once we got there it was tons of fun. We went to different sessions which had different speakers and subjects they were to talk to us about. I went to a college room which had several different colleges that gave away free stuff and talked about their education programs. Then I went to a Child with Two Languages which talked about ESL students and how they feel and ways to help them learn better. The last booth I went to was the Think before you ACT. It gave alot of advice on strategies and things to do before the ACT. It was very helpful and I have a very good feeling that my score will be bumped up a few points (hopefully several) lol. Unfortunately we didn't have enough money to stay the night and participate the next day so we won't figure out the results for awhile, but hopefully our PSA (Public Service Announcement) did very well! Also, Next year we will hopefully be able to stay the night at State & possibly go to Nationals! (:

Oh & the picture goes: Stephanie Williams, Abby Thomas, Kelsey Minto, Me, Megan Hickman, Noah Tucker, and Yesica Cisneros. It was at Regionals at Western and again we were only allowed to take 7 People.
