I am new to this platform. I read many of the posts and wanted to introduce my first book, the series Ganey Teaches. Ganey Teaches Counting by Dr. Lorna Randle

Ganey and her great-granddaughters are at home studying. She notices the girls are writing numbers and counting them on the board. 

As a Christian educator, Ganey enjoys teaching her granddaughters to understand the world around them. She takes them to the zoo to enhance their learning, ensuring they practice counting and understand the concept of totals. Seeing my mother and nieces come to life in this book was fun.

Dr. Lorna,

 

Great concept and well-illustrated cover! Can you share with us a little about your background as an educator? Also, how did this series come into fruition for you?

I am a 29-year veteran teacher in Texas. I retired last year. As an educator, I taught for 22 years at the elementary and middle school levels and was a paraprofessional for eight years. My heart is mathematics. When I noticed that my elementary and middle school students struggled with the foundational skills, I thought about how to make a difference. By the Grace of God, after retirement, I decided to write a foundational book starting with counting. My mother, "Ganey," always loved math. She taught her children and grandchildren. Her great-grandchildren didn't have a chance to receive the same love because my mother suffered a stroke that caused her aphasia. I thought this would be a great way to support children, especially Black Children, and keep the love my mother and I have for math alive.
