Hi Mrs. White, I love your blog. I have just one suggestion on your "zero trick". Change the wording from adding and subtracting the zero to multiplying and dividing by 10. This prepares them for algebra. Adding and subtracting zero can lead students to a misconception of being able to just add and subtract zeros willy nilly.
