The librarian, who had been kind enough to translate some of the problems and concepts into Spanish, was also there, and joined us later in a Grade 3 classroom as we went to try out our new tricks with real, live students!
Spent some time this morning with a group of Spanish teachers who teach math to students in grades 1 -6. It was the first time they had used pattern blocks (thanks to Trevor Brown for donating a class set plus enough individual baggies for each teacher at the session!!!) You could see the lightbulbs going off as they explored the concepts of fractions and perimeter with math manipulatives for the first time!

About Vera...After writing for several teacher and multiple birth publications, including ETFO's Voice Magazine, Multiple Moments, and the Bulletwin, Vera turned her written attention to prolific blogging for some years, including BiB, "Learn to Fly with Vera!" and SMARTbansho . In 2014, Homeschooling 4 was her travel blog in Argentina. She now spends more time on her Instagram (@schalgzeug_usw) than her blog (pictures are worth a thousand words?!) and moderates several Facebook groups in Canada and Mexico.
