I would like to thank Dawn Craft, Project Administrator and Liaison for the Arizona Association for the Education of Young Children, for offering to share my teaching strategies with the AzAEYC State Governing Board and her colleagues who would be interested in new math instructional strategies. Based on the feedback I have received from many teachers and administrators in Arizona, I am anticipating exciting demonstrations in Tucson and Phoenix during the week of October 3-7. For additional information regarding my demonstrations dates, times, and locations, feel free to call or send me an email. I hope to see you there!
