Paula, we are teaching up to the hundred thousands in place value. My students really got excited because I went to the millions. Which student doesn't want a million dollars, not to mention any teachers.. :)
My students seemed to grasp the concept pretty well it was just the rounding off that confuses them. If you come to think about it, place value is not a big deal if they mastered adding and subtracting to the 1000. I showed my students how they can add or subtract to the millions (same concept)
arent involvement in schools has traditionally been carried out by mothers. Yet boys and girls need positive, male role models.

Early one morning, Wilbur the pig peered up at the corner of the hayloft. He was accustomed to seeing his friend Charlotte, the “large gray spider the size of a gumdrop,” presiding over her tidy, circular web. But today something looked different.

For the past 5 years I've participated in a Tongue Twister Exchange. The idea is that 26 classrooms each have a letter of the alphabet to write a tongue twister for and we snail mail copies of the tongue twisters we've written to each other so that each classroom ends up with an alphabet book of Tongue Twisters.
My name is Matthew Callison. I am a former elementary teacher working on my PhD in the School of Education at Indiana University Bloomington.
I am writing to ask for your voluntary participation in an online survey I created as part of a research study I am conducting. The purpose of this study is to learn more about elementary teachers knowledge of, and experience with, student-centered teaching approaches. My hope is that the information gathered in this study can be used to understand how we can better support elementary teachers.
If you are an elementary teacher, please consider participating in this online survey. Your experiences as an elementary teacher are invaluable in helping researchers and teacher educators learn more about how to support teachers like you in your important work.
The survey should take about 15 minutes to complete and does not collect any personal information unless you decide to leave your contact information at the end of the survey. You can learn more about the study and begin the survey (if you choose to participate) by visiting the link below:

If you know of other elementary teachers who may wish to participate in this study, please feel free to forward this email to them.
Thank you for your time.
