The leap into 2016 provides an opportunity to invite you to our 30th annual R.T. Garcia Early Childhood Winter Conference on Saturday, January 30 with conference keynote Dr. Jean Feldman. Dr. Jean provides synergy for the morning through song, rhyme, movement and hands-on projects.

The best-selling author and 40-year educator of 40 years shares these free activities through her website. Her site also provides a living example of her energy-charged presentation.

Along with Dr. Jean, the conference includes featured speaker Carl Anderson, national leading expert on teaching writing to K-12 students. Many of the sessions also focus on grades 1-2 learning. The day includes 60-plus presenter breakout sessions. We showcase a plethora of exhibitors with new resources for your classroom. Register for the conference.

Historically, teachers travel to the conference with their teams, but you have ample opportunity to make new friends by coming solo. Parking is free at the Kingdom Builders’ Center in southeast Houston.

School Bell welcomes you back to the classroom in 2016. We look forward to sharing innovative ideas and hearing back from you!
