My kids lost it when I told them I met Jack Hartmann!🤩I know every teacher recognizes Greg too!❤️🥰Behind the scenes: This is the perfect example of how social media doesn’t show the whole picture. My friend @themulticulturalclassroom and I had a horrible case of food poisoning. We were both extremely sick through the night and minutes before this was taken. I was totally bummed to miss Jack’s keynote.I presented 2 sessions that day but couldn’t eat or drink a thing the entire day. We hid a trash can in the back of the room and I told the teachers to PLEASE start talking if they saw me run back to it or it could have made for an incredibly awkward moment! Can you imagine? Luckily @pocketofpreschool and @littlekinderwarriors hooked me up with some anti-nausea meds and I made it through the day! I was flipping through pics from the ILASCD conference and thought how I never told you this backstory and how many sweet friends I have who came to my rescue that day! ... See MoreSee Less
