Recently a group of 30 teachers, 2 principals, and 1 guidance counsellor, in our FOS got together to learn more about Debbie Diller's new book: Math Work Stations: Independent Learning You Can Count On, K-2 (Stenhouse Publishers - ISBN: 978-1-57110-793-0). The workshop was the idea of Melissa Seco, a Grade 1/2 teacher in our FOS. She was very excited about the activities she found in the book and wanted to share her ideas with others. The cost for the make and take was covered by our SO Nadira Persaud. It was a great chance for teachers to network, share ideas, and create some great new math activities in the process! A big thank you to Mauro (Principal) for letting us use his school library for this workshop.
