Spotted!

Check out this picture of Megan's and Hannah's backs (pointed out by the giant spirited arrow) at the VEA conference this past November! As you can see, there was a lot of creative group-work going on in this workshop. UVA's SVEA members had a wonderful time learning with and from teachers all across Virginia. Can't wait to be back again next year!
