作者簡介:Cindy Guinn and Karen Simmons presently teach in Palm Beach County, Florida. Between them, they have forty years experience and have taught grades K-6. Both have been recipients of, and nominated for, numerous education awards. They began the Bag Ladies workshops to present an energetic, enthusiastic, creative, motivational, and fun workshop to their teaching peers. Using their own self-published thematic units, they demonstrate skills, bookmaking ideas, and numerous hands-on projects, that can be used in any classroom. Participants make these projeccts and are able to gear them to their own curriculums and standards. "A Bookbag of the Bag Ladies Best" is their first book, culminating their years of teaching, presenting, and creating. Their second book, "Math Manipulatives, and Magic Wands," combines reading, writing and math in a hands-on format for teachers. The Bag Ladies demonstrate the art of making learning fun for both teachers and students, while using the state standards to guarantee positive state testing results. Each year participants use these skills to take home a different thematic bag full of ideas that can be used in their own classrooms. These teachers/authors have presented for numerous years at the Florida Reading Association and the Florida Council for Elementary Education Conference plus all over the United States at various State Reading Council Conferences and Schools. They presented to the International Reading Association in New Orleans and the National Math Conference in Orlando. In addition, they presented to the National I Teach 1st Conference in California and Orlando. Watch the Bag Ladies take the stress out of teaching state standards in a hands-on approach to covering those benchmarks all the way to testing day and beyond. They will also add a "sprinkle of magic" to every grade's curriculum.
