Second grade teachers desire positive and negative feedback on
the Chicago Math Program.  Are you supplementing the Chicago
Math Program with any other programs, materials, or
worksheets?  How do your students' test scores compare to scores
prior to using Chicago Math?

Hi Sandra -  Glad to get your response.  I'll forward it to the folks at
 Tekoppel.  You should hear from Angela Walden who teachers 3rd
 grade.  We are out for Christmas vacation starting the 23rd until January 4th.
 As excited about this as she is about this project, I'll bet that you hear
 from her real soon.  I'll have to check about their ability to go online.
 Have a nice Christmas Holiday.

Hi to the kids in 4th grade in Danvers USA.
The date I am writing this on the 14th of December.
Netball is like basketball except with 7 players on each team. The positions are GS, GD, GA, WA, C, WD, AND GK.You are not allowed to bounce the ball and when you get a goal you start at the centre again.
Please tell me about the USA.

Hello Michael!

Hi!! I'm not really Matt Murray - I'm his Cub Scout Den leader.  You answered one of his messages a couple of weeks ago, then I answered your message.  I didn't see any reply from you but I could have easily missed it because I was only saving 150 messages at a time (I have increased that now).

Did you answer that message? Matt is anxiously awaiting your reply. He would like to have your mailing address so he can correspond by SnailMail.

His address is:   Matt Murray
                  21074 SW 90th Ave
                  Tualatin, OR 97062

Matt is 10 and likes lots of sports - especially Baseball and Wrestling.  He's working on his Webelos Badge now.  Write back soon.

Este apartado creo que es muy importante ya que un profesor no puede creer que su metodo es el metodo perfecto, siempre hay que ir cambiando y adaptandose a nuevos metodos de enseanza.

En tu Universidad, teneis Alguna clase que sea expecifica para enseanza de ordenadores? o los usais como una herramienta de ayuda para aprender otras cosas?.

continuar conversando.

Una de las grandes diferencias entre nuestros dos paises sin embargo
creo que es la cuestion de la centralizacion.  Aunque en Espana las
autonomias se ocupan bastante de la educacion ahora en USA son los
estados (o sea, las provincias) y los municipios.  Esto tambien tiene
mucho que ver con los impuestos ya que gran parte del presupuesto para
las escuelas sale de los impuestos locales.  Hay ciertas normas
estatales (es decir de cada estado) pero muchisimas decisiones se toman
en el mismo municipio.  Los que pagamos impuestos tambien votamos el
presupuesto.  Es un sistema que un un principio parece muy democratico
pero tiene sus complicaciones y sus problemas.   De lo que no tenemos
practicamente nada son los colegios privados de los que los propietarios
quieren sacar beneficio.  Hay desde luego muchos colegios privados pero
todos o casi todos son entidades benefico-sociales sin animo de lucro.
En fin, cada pais tiene su sistema y ninguno es perfecto.

Hola Katherine

Os escribo desde Madrid/Espana

La Navidad en Espana creo que es bastante similar a la de USA. Las principales diferencias que se me ocurren son:

- Aqui no existe Papa Noel, los regalos a los nios los traen los TRES REYES MAGOS (Melchor, Gaspar y Baltasar) que vienen desde Belen montados en camello. El dia para los regalos es el 6 de Enero.

- El dia de Noche vieja (31-Diciembre) hay que tomar 12 uvas justo a las doce de la noche, coincidiendo con las campanadas del reloj. Para eso la television transmite desde el reloj de la Puerta del Sol de Madrid las campanadas. Segun la tradicion si consigues comer las doce uvas una con cada campanada tendras buena suerte el ano siguiente.

- Despues en algunas ciudades hay tradiciones especiales de esa ciudad. Por ejemplo conozco una ciudad en el norte de Espana, donde despues de comer las doce uvas la gente baja a la calle a bailar una danza muy antigua que se llama "DANZA PRIMA" por ser la primera danza del ano.

Bueno creo que esas son las mayores diferencias entre las Navidades en USA y en Espana.

Un abrazo
Mariano

Paul,  O en espanol yo debo decir "Pablo".  No sabes cuanta nieve que 
tenemos aqui en Canada (o mejor dicho) Hamilton, Ontario.  ?Has 
visitado el Canada en el pasado?  Yo nunca he visitado tu estado pero 
me gustaria hacerlo.  Me gustaria saber tu edad si es posible.???
