Maryland TPT Meetup | Teacher Summer Series Ep 19

I'm on my way to Baltimore to go to the Maryland TPT Meetup I'm so excited I [Applause] just had to meet so many amazing ladies that are so focused on the same things that I am and that's always really refreshing [Music] [Music] really let me - I will [Music] good morning you do I have been waiting for this for weeks now I'm on my way to Baltimore to go to the Maryland TPT Meetup I'm so excited because last year when I went I actually was one of the organizers and this year I get to go just as an attendee and I get to actually enjoy it there are TPT sellers coming from all across the state plus I think some coming from Pennsylvania and maybe even Virginia so we're just going to sit we're going to eat and we're going to talk all things about teaching and TPT and I'm really excited to eat because I'm starving right now you guys know I'm not a huge fan of big crowds and I think there's gonna be like 30 people which is a little bit big for me but it's less overwhelming than the conference I think I can totally do this no problem Plus last year when I helped to organize the meetup it was in Baltimore as well and I was commuting from the Eastern Shore of Maryland so I had like over a two hour drive and this year it's only like 30 to 45 minutes so I'm excited about that as well of course I'm going to vlog throughout the entire thing so I will catch up with you guys when I get there and since you guys always ask this is the same blue shirt that I wore at the TPT conference it came from teaching max it was only a couple of dollars and it is like off-the-shoulder and i absolutely love it i have on black earrings from Target and then just plain white shorts [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] we gather and then approach did what open the jury that in April or May no I want to talk to t-shirts and I never seen you before and there's beautiful port so a nice question when I knew I was getting myself into but thank you so much it was really really fun to put together that would make sure that you benefit from these great conversations we decided on three topics that were really important and to help our DVD business moving into the new school year so we

can put this had an outward support nikichi community which was often really puzzled a lot of correspondences exciting you know them I put actually up at the back of your Dean cases number and then I could also cover to the door so I'm just going to pull them out that a funny surprises are [Applause] Thank You funny [Applause] [Laughter] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Music] let's do [Music] of course here comes Lana to join the party I just got home and I apologize in advance there's a little bit of an echo in here because it is four foot floors and we don't have any runs yet we don't even have any lake furniture I'm sitting where our dining room table is going to go but I wanted to show you guys these adorable swag bags that each of us got I am so thankful for Jennifer just organizing all this and playing together she did an amazing job and I know if you guys are anything like me you're always like curious what's and things and I'm really curious too so I'm going to show you guys what is in here I didn't look through what I was there because I wanted to do it on video for you all first of all let's just appreciate how adorable this bag is it is white with black polka dots which is my dam and then it has like the red tissue paper and then it has this adorable heart with a little like logo that she made for is just so cute and let me find my little name tag so each had a name tag and again it has the cute little logo on it we just wrote our names on it and how ironic was this each one had a number on it by must 14 that happens to be my lucky number although it wasn't my lucky number because I didn't want anything from the giveaway so it's totally fun I'm so happy for the people that wanted but apparently I need to pick a new lucky number all right I'm just going to go through it I have no idea what all is really in here because I haven't really looked yet the first thing though this actually was a little sign that I had because I was helping to lead the little session on video so I just put that in there and look how sweet she is sure this little note saying thank you for volunteering she was just one of the sweetest people I've ever met I'm so happy that I got to talk with her a little bit so let's go through this okay you know you are a Marylander when there are crap chips and if you have never had crab chips I feel really sorry for you so if you have never tried these and you ever see them you should get them they're covered in Old Bay and they're just mom they're the best thing ever they even even Linda likes them okay no nope we're not doing it although you guys should what was that you guys should wish her a happy birthday it's actually her fifth birthday today and thank goodness for Facebook because it reminded me and there's no way I would would have remembered otherwise so there is this adorable little pencil bag in your oh my gosh and look at all this good stuff so I strategically picked my seat based on the color of the bag because I wanted to pack what how where is that I'm so sorry you guys like there's just methyl highlighters and pencils in here and some post-it notes I love these caramel candies so I'm actually really excited about that I'm just going to open it up there's a little table and a glue stick oh that will go in my classroom this fall I'm so excited oh and this is her like little logo and so cute and she put on the men hold on I'll get it in focus for you guys there you go how cute is that that's hers I will link her stuff in the description her store is positively learning and she's a sweetest person ever okay this was not I did not think ahead because now I have to put all this stuff back in here this stuff is not easy to do one-handed my friend all right next thing that it's in here this was a bookmark which was given to us by the OC Beach teacher I actually met her last year at the meet up that I helped to organize she's super sweet and she actually lived really close to the area that I was living before and then this was given to us by Kimberly her store I believe it is flipping into kindergarten I actually met her at our meetup last year and she's so incredibly sweet so this just has little sample packs I'm excited to try those okay about Delilah lil bit confused by this but it is so kind of a what adhesive I'm assuming it was just something that was donated but I'm actually excited about this because goodness knows I always have stuff that is breaking so I will definitely end up putting this to use okay and then the next thing oh how cute are these not it's not for you it's crayon it's wax really okay these are absolutely adorable Luna stuff these are from Jennifer as well as positively learning I am just in love with her logo like it's so simple and it just I love it I love you guys know I love simple things and it's just I catching and I love it so these are little like crayons that she made they're so cute okay and then the next thing in here this is from teaching as a rural adventure which I actually own one of her teacher tees I own the Maryland one and I absolutely love it so if you guys are into come on Luna this is not funny anymore if you guys are interested I will link her down below because I love her shirt she has them for all of the different states and it just has a really nice coupon code on it and I definitely need to get another one and then somehow I accidentally ended up in the Lululemon that was right around the corner from the Hilton Garden Inn no idea how that happened it's weird but we do not have Lululemon where it looks before I had only been to one one time I do own one pair of Lululemon pants yes they are super expensive I about died spending that much on my first pair of pants but I will say out of all the leggings I have ever worn for working out they're by far the best or by far the most comfortable they fit the best and it's totally worth it so I pledged and I treated myself let me show you guys what I got so these are the align pants that I've heard really really great things about the only pair that I own are I think they're called like the Wonder underpants and I really like those but I've heard great things about these so I splurged I traded myself and I got a pair of black and then this is like a dark teal colors I thought was really pretty I'll be honest with you guys this was a huge start for me they are super expensive they're like a hundred dollars per pair and I know that's insane however because I do work out very often I have tried so many different workout pants and I'm tired of spending twenty to thirty dollars on a cheap pair of pants and then they rip and they slide down and they don't fit well and they don't hold up when I could spend a little bit more and get these pants that are going to last and they're comfortable and they fit well and everything else and to me it's worth it because I work out for me I work out to be healthy and I work out because I enjoy it so I don't mind spending a little bit of money to invest in quality clothes I always forget how kind of overwhelming to meet up like this are because there's just a lot of people you're trying to talk to people and then the time fly so I'm hoping that I got enough footage or you guys overall I had an amazing time as anxious as I get in groups like that and I don't really like to reach out and meet new people at the same time I love it and I love making new connections and I just got to meet so many amazing ladies that are so focused on the same things that I am and that's always really refreshing plus I also got to see some of the ladies that I have met last year to meet up and that's always really nice too what's so weird about social media is there's so many people that I feel like I know because I follow them and I know their face and I know so much about them but then I realize I haven't actually met them and so that's always kind of weird when you're meeting people for the first time but it's like I feel like I know you I follow you you may not know who I am but I know are considering this meet up with bigger than the one last year I want to say last year we had like 20 people somewhere around that and this year is around 30 people I'm proud of myself for not getting as overwhelmed as I thought I would actually cope with it all really really well and I had to do a mini presentation on video which is something that terrifies me like I told like talking in front of people whatsoever but I actually handled it well and I'm just so thankful for my channel because I have gained so much confidence and I have come out of my shell so much because of this channel and I needed that like I needed that push I needed to get out of my comfort zone and I'm just so so so thankful that I did I just had so many wonderful ladies and now I'm going to go like stalk all of their instagrams but overall I had an amazing time and I wanted to say thank you to Jennifer again for organizing all you are amazing I know you thought it was fun but I also know it can be overwhelming so I just so appreciate you putting in the time and effort to do this because it is so important for teachers to be able to meet and collaborate with each other especially when you're doing TPT and other things it's just so nice to be able to surround yourself with like-minded people I also want to throw this out there really quickly if you are a teacher and you have not been to a meet-up like this I highly suggest you find one go on Facebook and I guarantee you you can probably find one near you and if there isn't one you could organize it it really isn't that hard but it's important to kind of get out of your comfort zone connect with other teachers and just find those people that think like you that you can talk to about teaching or for me that I can talk to you about TBT that aren't going to get bored it's so important that you have that group of supportive people around you now Billy and I are really hungry so I'm going to go ahead and end this blog here no I haven't edited it yet so I don't know how long but I'm assuming this video was probably on the shorter side I'm sorry I try to get as much footage as possible but I do hope you guys enjoyed this like bonus will hug for the week if you did it please give the video a thumbs up it really helps out
