with budget cuts time restraints and standardized testing I truly miss going to a workshop like this for a couple of days in the summer or during the year. I teach year round plus summer and I’m a golf coach. I loved this training. I started Wednesday and stayed up till 4 am the past 2 days. I enjoyed her stories, energy she talked like the kids then changed her voice and talked like a teacher. She is amazing. Thank you so much!!!!!
