Thanks to the first grade team, I had the opportunity to attend another great workshop given by Anni Stipek. If you remember she is the one who came to West Lafayette over the summer and presented information about the Singapore Math approach. Again, Anni did a great job and I left feeling refreshed and ready to dive back into math :) Below are two websites she has posted on her blog. The first is a report by Dan Rather on Singapore and education. The second is what is called a "Livebinder". You can click on the tabs and it will take you to different places on the web.

Visiting classrooms this week has been an awesome experience for me. The time, energy and love for what you do every day is very obvious. I am so proud to be member of this great staff!

A note from Andrea:)
Fellow staff,
I know that right now many of us feel a bit overwhelmed as another school year is underway…Though our free time is precious, I can’t resist sharing something that I feel is worth a few hours of our time…
To me, sleep is priceless and I spent what could have been precious hours of shut-eye last night watching “Rising: Rebuilding Ground Zero” on the Discovery channel. I think if you have a few hours or are in need of renewing your outlook on life, you should watch it too.
At the beginning of this week, I threw up my arms and shed some tears for what I felt was my loss of family time and, to a certain extent, my freedom…how ridiculous of me to think that I’d lost anything…
p.s. I think you all are amazing teachers! Our children are SO lucky! J
