Coming up on Friday September 8^th, NGRESA will host an Instructional Materials Fair from 9:00-3:00.  Our focus for this fair is science and social studies materials.  We will have vendors set up throughout our building and each one will conduct a 25-30 minute presentation on their materials/products geared toward science and social studies.  There is no charge for participants and we welcome you to stop by at some point during the day and check it out.  There may even be some giveaways taking place during and/or after the event!  We are glad to host this event again for our area and look forward to seeing everyone at your NGRESA on September 8^th. 

This manipulatives-based training is designed to provide opportunities for educators to add more tools to their math toolboxes. The day’s work will focus on using hands-on materials to help students build a conceptual model of the mathematics they are learning, based on the CRA (Concrete-Representational-Abstract) model advocated by Van de Walle and other researchers.

If your school has a closet of manipulatives that aren’t being used, this workshop is for you!

We will do a brief overview of the basics like creating and storing files in Drive and using Docs for collaborative word processing.
