| I-71 North. Hello Cleveland! |
 |
| First-timer Jamie Spinato. I met Jamie when she student taught at my school. She got a job in the district, participated in one of my summer workshops, and signed on to twitter. I convinced her to try TMC, and we co-presented a session on Friday. |
 |
| Opening Ceremonies. Lisa reminds us all to be on time. |
 |
| Chase Orton led my morning session on Japanese lesson study. Nobody pulls off a cap like Chase. |
 |
| Brian Miller led a session on how to use geometry to draw a human eye. |
 |
| Mine didn't come out so good. |
 |
| Brian Miller, Graham Fletcher, and Sheri Walker |
 |
| Nicole Paris, Wendy Menard, Annie Perkins, and Hedge |
 |
| Wendy Menard, Jamie, and Edmund Harriss grab lunch. |
 |
| Jason Henry. We need Lisa, and Lisa needs Jason. Ergo we need Jason. |
 |
| Not exactly sure what Max has in mind here, but it looks like Barbie Bungee without the bungee. |
 |
| A few blocks from the hotel. This was a good place for breakfast. They had fresh squeezed orange juice. |
 |
| What do you notice? What are you wondering? |
 |
| Greta and Jamie outside Phoenix Coffee. This was a few blocks from the school, and another good place to get breakfast. |
 |
| John Golden and Elizabeth Statmore share a moment. |
 |
| Kent Haines did a session on Exploding Dots. I kinda get it now. |
 |
| Bob Lochel did a session on how to make yucky math topics more fun. I wish Bob had been one of my high school math teachers. |
 |
| I mathed. Thanks Bob! |
 |
| Dinner with Lisa Bejarano, Amie Albrecht, Nicole Paris, and Chrissy Newell. Amie came all the way from Australia! |
 |
| Pretty much everybody wound up at Mitchell's at some point. Their ice-cream was really good, and I'm an ice-cream snob. |
 |
| Dylan Kane made a last minute appearance. He did a session with Lisa Bejarano. |
 |
| Megan Schmidt, Steve Weimar, and Annie Perkins were kind enough to run a flex session on Islamic Geometric Design. Not bad for my first try! |
 |
| Ben Sabree was so into it he continued to work on his design on the bus back to the hotel. |
 |
| Megan did a My Favorite and reminded everyone about the importance of elementary school teachers. Thanks Megan! |
 |
| Edmund, Glen Waddell, and John at the Phoenix preparing for their keynote. |
 |
| Jersey girls Jamie Spinato, Anna Panova, and Sasha Fradkin. They don't pump gas. |
 |
| Game night is one of my favorite parts of TMC. This year, the game of Set was a big hit. That's Chris Luzniak, Chrissy Newell, and Michelle N. |
 |
| Tina Cardone shows off one of her creations. |
 |
| John O'Malley IV, Glenn Waddell, and a friend exploring tiles. |
 |
| John Golden finally taught me how to play Magic. He let me win. |
