My Favorite Things

October 13, 2017 by Tammy Jones

My Favorite Things As fall is finally approaching here in Tennessee I have begun seeing some ads for one of my all time favorite movies: The Sound of Music.  There are so many wonderful songs from the movie. But one of the songs that I loved as a child and still do is My Favorite Things.  I was talking about this with one of my grandsons recently and he asked me an interesting question, given … [Read more...]

NCTM, San Francisco

My colleagues and I really enjoyed your presentation at NCTM.  We have already convinced our principal to pre-order us copies of your new book, but we would also like 4 class sets of the pyramids.
