On Saturday, September 20, I attended the WKA, Wisconsin Kindergarten conference in Stevens POint, WI. Dr. Jean was the key note speaker. Dr. Jean was going to speak and we were going to have a Make and Take. When we got there, though, we heard that Dr. Jean had broken her arm and had to have surgery. We really missed her. However, a past presenter, Julie Torkelson, stepped up to the plate. She had been there two years ago. I have purchased some of her materials a few years ago but had not had the opportunity to see her. Well this was my chance. I took 3 floppy disks full of pictures. Although we were saddened by Dr. Jean's injury, I for one, learned a great deal from Julie. Please visit Julie's website at Katie and Co. Thanks so much for sharing your time and talent with us. You deserve to "Kiss Your Brain!"

Here are the classbooks that are made to go with many of Dr. Jean's songs:

Birthday Book	Color Farm	Weather Song	If You're Happy	We Like Peanut Butter
The First 12 Days	5 LIttle Fish	Money Song	My Mother is a Baker	Numeral Song
Oceans	Old Lady Swallowed	Opposite Song	Pizza	Planet Song
Today is	Shape Song	Ten Apples	Hickory Dickory Dock	Who Stole & What's in your Pocket?

Here are the different props that Julie uses in her classroom.

5 Felt Pumpkins	5 Felt Snowmen	Lip Pointers
Magnifing Glass	Mouse House	Phon-ercise Chart
Smile Pocket Chart	Tina Tooth Fairy	Who Let the Letters Out
Wiggle Worms	Please Visit Julie's site Katie and Co.	My Dr. Jean pictures
