The weather is starting to feel cold. There seem to be light snow flurries wherever I drive. I am wondering whether or not I really want to go home! It was eighty degrees in Dallas.
Before heading towards Detroit I made a quick stop at The Teachers Center in Kalamazoo. I had met Doug and Lynn Brigham several times during the annual NSSEA show but it was interesting and exciting to actually see their store. The Teachers Center did not disappoint me. You can see from the photos that it’s a bright and cheerful store packed to the brim with educational resources.

Jumping into the van again, I headed towards Detroit where I’d be having dinner with Ruth Harris of SongsforTeaching.com. I was really looking forward to meeting Ruth. We have been good internet buddies since the inception of her website a mere three years ago. Ruth’s vision has blossomed into a true internet success. The websites she created to help teachers boost literacy http://www.LiteracyConnections.com and http://www.SongsForTeaching.com now attract 8000 visitors daily and she is considered an expert in the field.
