Using Literature to Teach Addition

Many of us use a curriculum to teach math, but using literature to teach math can be a great teaching tool. I am beginning this math literature series with some of the best books to teach addition. With my love for literature and math, it only makes sense to combine the two so I have

Winter Olympics Reading Challenge

I am a voracious reader. I read so much that I may have a problem. I spend as much time reading as an Olympic athlete does training for their event. From morning devotionals, magazines, blogs, classics, to bestsellers, I am devoted to my reading time.   In honor of the anniversary of the First Winter
