I appreciate Sue Keat, K-5 Math Content Specialist in Muscogee County Schools, GA, for her willingness to meet with me on June 5th at 2:00 in Columbus, GA. Hopefully, I will be able to help at least one of her students during the 2019-20 school year!

My summer will be off to a great start because I will be traveling to Pensacola, FL to do a demonstration with Susan Weddle, Technology Specialist, and her colleagues at the FDLRS Emerald Coast on June 3rd at 10:00.

I am looking forward the chance to meet some of Florida’s educators and specialists!

I am going to share how my idea went from a piece of paper to a number line to 10,000,000 and other math manipulatives with Tashia Twyman, Director of Communication and Public Engagement, on April 26th at 3:00. This interview is going to be exciting!
