I was smiling so much last week my cheeks hurt! Why you may ask….because I attended nErD Camp MI for 2 days in Parma, Michigan! It was a wonderful experience and I encourage you to come next year. It will be a conference you won’t forget!
Here are the top five reasons why I was smiling for 2 straight days at nErD Camp!
1. Learning!
You will come home from nErD Camp with great ideas for your classroom, library, family and yourself.

2. Books!
You will take home awesome books that have been donated from amazing publishers, authors and bookstores!

4. Authors!
