Thanks for the tip. As for teachers, I don't really know since I posted at the request of Allison. I would guess, however, that anyone with a wiki could be of interest to many - teachers, have at it.

Hi, Dorcas--
Thanks for friending me! I have five friends now so I'm feeling quite special. Of course, I have to find time to check the site. I plan to catch up on all these things over spring break (which can't come soon enough here in snowy NE) as I settle into my new house. Yes, I moved in February--what was I thinking? As usual, things are busy at school and we are gearing up for change as we get a new Head in July (the first in 15 years). Are you going to AISL in Toronto?

Summer will include a trip to Prague to visit my exchange student from last year, and ALA, and a possible move. Details about that if they finalize. Dorcas

Thanks Sarah,
I agree with you - what I really want to say is that the 1-1 will enhance and improve our already high quality teaching and that it is part of the "life long learner" that is in our mission statement.
And then I'm done.
However, o...
Dear Cassandra,
Thanks for the help. I have visited the Primary Mathematics series website and sent an email to their school contact email address. If I don't hear something soon I will send you an email request for your rep.
