    Thank you. I will email them the link to our blog. Who knows? Maybe they will join in our conversation. It would be a great place for them to ask questions about the materials and become interested in what we are doing.

    Just a quick update here. My wife's school bought the Caulkins materials for the intermediate grades and the Atwell materials for middle school. They absolutely love them. See. We are reaching out and touching the lives of others.
