A springtime symphony awakens the forest from its winter slumber in this musical celebration of the season. The story follows a badger named Juniper who is excluded from the band that wakes up spring each year and ultimately decides to march to the beat of her own drum, making friends along the way. 

Forest animals stirring from their winter homes and hibernation make a variety of noises to welcome spring. Will you & your students join us?

Join international speaker, Jennifer Bay-Williams, in helping to develop your 'game plan' for teaching basic facts.

Every child must have automaticity with basic facts, but traditional drill and memorizing just doesn’t work for many students. A better ‘game plan’ builds on students’ strengths, using interesting stories and strategic visuals to support student number sense, and then games to provide meaningful and enjoyable practice. Mix in some ways to ensure the games are connected to strategies, and assessments truly assess fluency and strategies, and you have a game plan that will ensure every student learns their facts and feels confident about themselves as a learner of mathematics.
