My name is Sandra Ball and I am the new ‘Inner-City Early Learning Helping Teacher’ in the Surrrey School District #36. As a mother of two wonderful young men and wife to a very supportive husband, I love spending time with family and friends. I have had the pleasure of teaching children for over 30 years, with most of my experience working with our ‘Early Learners’. I decided to start this Blog to provide an avenue for myself to share ideas, activities, and beliefs with others.

Starting With The Beginning 
I was at your workshop today and loved it. Thank you.
Who knew you had a blog? This is great. Lots of good ideas.
thanks,
Ann
I loved hearing you speak last year in Victoria. Will you be doing any other trainings?
great site! was looking for the blackline master for the dot cards and dominoes? Where do I go??
Hi heather,
All the dot card sets are in the Building a Foundation page!
Hi Sandra,
I attended your workshop in Comox in the fall;it was fantastic! I have ordered most of the books your recommended. I teach French immersion and I was wondering if you also have a suggested book list for primary French books relating to numeracy.
Thanks for your time,
Anita
Hi Anita,
I know that Carole Fulleron has a list of French math books on her blog mindfull.wordpress.com. Check it out!

Your website looks great and I am excited to access some of these things to work with my son over the summer. As a school district SLP, when reading about your literacy centres, I hope we can encourage teachers and staff to have a chat with their SLPs regarding comprehension of what is said to students and the ability to express themselves orally – oral language is such a huge piece of a child’s academic success and is often the precursor to reading and writing. Cheers!
Love your blog! I thought I remember seeing a list of materials to have on hand for setting up provocations for different areas of the math curriculum but now I can’t find it!
Hi, I think you will find the lists under the Reggio-inspired Math post!
