Wow - wonderful news montana. I hope the school tries to keep up from now on!

Masterofnone - side note re: tallies. We just read "How to Count Like a Martian" (a book someone at this fabulous site recommended). It explains all types of counting systems, and it explained them simply enough that even I could finally get binary! (i'm a little number-concept challenged.) Just a thought - it's out of print, but i found it through inter-library loan.
