I can easily reach over to wipe it off and we are immediately ready to try again. The kids know that making small mistakes is part of learning. This creates a safe space where mistakes are ok, they disappear quickly, and we are ready to keep learning. \r\n\r\nI'm looking forward to seeing words become sentences, and sentences become short stories. I can't wait to see math challenges and how my students choose to show their mathematical thinking, on our new table. \r\nThank you so much for making an impact in so many student lives.
