Can I Get An Amen??

Since amen is usually follows the end of something, I'd like to announce the end of working my project...at least I THINK I'm done. Through a series of miraculous events in my sweathouse garage where my "office" is, the final pieces of the Zoombini Puzzle Log were dropped into place. As soon as I figure how to attach some files to this blog, you might be able to get a general idea of what this thing really looks like.
If you want to, and I know you do, check out http://www.zoombini.com ....which will probably take you to the Learning Company, who'll try to sell you something, navigate around until you get a glimpse of what the program is...I have had an educational love affair with this program for a long time...we have have become good old friends.
The handbook I have developed guides kids (and teachers) through a series of problem solving adventures. It encourages discussion and writing about what you do to solve a problem. It reinforces the use of math language, and recording failures and successes. Bottom line...it's a lot of fun...organized, constructive, engaging, fun!
If you have questions you can post here, or email me at andytnisbet@comcast.net or anisbet@sanjuan.edu

Onward to Zoombinville!
