[@merrygoroung]

Just love your activities Anna, your school Rules, flip-flap book, etc,, I have just started volunteer teaching English to a mixed group of underprivileged Tamil students in Sri Lanka, and looking for ways to teach away from the norm of teaching English, as these students need guided learning, I really love this way of teaching ! I had a group of 45 mixed kids on the weekend as I teach on sat, sun, as they school during the week, and come down for some extra English lessons as some don't have English at school! I got them doing choral reading due to the large group and they really enjoyed the activity, we read "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see" so please could you let me know where I can purchase your work..regards Marguerite

I teach 2nd grade in Chicago, IL I've been following your FB page and I belong to your guided math group, too. I'm so appreciative of all your resources and your help this past year. You've really helped me make my math block so much better. I've only taught 2nd grade for two years and I've never been sure what to do exactly on those first few days of school. I feel like I flounder around through the days. You've organized & created a great system here & I know it would be helpful! Thanks, Anna. -Beth Cha
