Getting Ready for a Crazy Week

So we just got the phone call everyone with kids dreads.  Turns out the stomach bug that hit our house last weekend has made its way to our daycare person's house, meaning that someone has to stay home with the little guy for Monday at least.  It normally wouldn't be that big of an issue and I could take a half day or something, but I will be out of town Monday night, Tuesday, and Wednesday afternoon at the KASC conference in Louisville.  While it does present a problem, we will figure it out (like there was some other option) and I'm sure the week will be over before I know it.  While at the KASC conference, I plan on attending a couple of sessions that speak directly to my action research on student motivation.  While I had originally planned to do it on uniformity of classroom procedures, I feel that even with uniformity in the classroom you must still have motivated students.  I am hoping that the conference will continue to develop my thoughts on the subject and possibly provide me with some useful tools to take back to my school.  One way or the other, the KASC conference was useful last year and I expect some good things to come out of it.  I'll post again after day 1 to give any tips or ideas that sprung up while attending the sessions.
