Our department is working on copying ang distributing fewer papers. We’re making an effort to get everything posted online in our course management system. Especially with study guides and optional materials, we think it will make a big difference in paper usage.

Trying to get the kids and the teachers to put recyclables in our new recycling bins. We try to repurpose paper that has printing on one side for other uses. Need to keep reminding everyone how important recycling is!

In the year 2012, I really want to see less plastic offered as a bag in stores and more friendly bags such as ones made of fabric.

In 2012, I’m working towards… being more relaxed- about work, studies, family, relationships. Sometimes, juggling everything makes me shut down or just stress too much.
The more “small” wish is to just click w/ that one student I have been struggling to connect with this school year. Oh, how much easier life would be… =)

Comment on Math educator publishes book with her son by Becky Schantz

How many numbers are there? Great question.

Thank you, Maureen, for sharing this with the Auspen community! This is a very exciting time for us. In just about 36 hours, we have sold our Kindle and paperback versions from California to Texas, to North Carolina and I heard up to Canada! We hope everyone stays tuned to Jack’s future adventures… more books are in the works! I also have much more math help for the Math Is Tough Bar-B blog. Thanks again!

P.S. My fellow author (Jack), illustrator (Anne Mitchell) and I love doing readings at schools and libraries. We throw in some math and art education, too. Want a reading? Let us know! :~)
