NOTE: This workshop proposal was accepted by NAEYC. The presentation was rescheduled by NAEYC at the last minute and notice was not given to us. We arrived at the scheduled time to present and found out at that the time of the workshop had been rescheduled to an earlier time on the same day. The explanation given for the rescheduling of workshops revolved around the September 11th tragedy. Many people canceled their workshops and as the staff at NAEYC tried to reschedule presentations not everyone received notice of the workshop changes.
