Since moving from AL to GA, I have been WAAAAY less than thrilled with our libraries here! Well lets put it this way-It Stinks! I MISS Alabama!! Not only that we are paying THREE TIMES MORE in property taxes-So going to the library and not having books I want that is available is VERY frustrating! Well believe it or not, we were in the library and I picked up a book but didn't know what it was , really until I brought it home. It is WONDERFUL!! It is called Exploring Math with Books Kids Love and it allows you to use LIVING books to help either teach and integrate math or to reinforce it! The author is Kathryn Kaczmarski. You think that this is little, elementary?? NOPE! This is for middle and immediate levels!
There are people on my favorite Yahoo group that use Living Math, but this is the first time I have seen it for myself and I am thrilled. I just renewed the book for the second time and ended up ordering it used off of Amazon, because I cannot get enough of it.
I guess Douglasville library is good for one thing, but I still miss Alabama. But hey, we are going tomorrow to visit with some our our dear friends and having bread baking day, YEAH!@! Oh what fun! We are looking forward to it!
have a good one!
