I saw the sisters about 5 years ago at Nebraska's reading conference. At that point in time I was clueless, ...but life is full of 'what ifs'.
ReplyDeleteNow I'd like to attend their CAFE workshop, but so far they haven't been back to the midwest...or what I'd call the middle section of USA!
Looking forward to your posts.

Love the sisters! Went to their workshop last summer and it was "teacher-changing" 8). This will be my third year of D5 and CAFE and it has been wonderful for my students (and me!)
