Trying to let go of perfectionism and embrace my learning journey by practicing indigenous cedar bark weaving. Thank you Matthew Williams for the inspiring teaching (and patience!)
@MrsNasio Marin: are these chicken eggs? Why are they different colours? Archer: when are they going to hatch? Will they all hatch or are some not fertilized? Thanks for the learning opportunities, Mrs. Nasio! 😊

Why is it important to develop number sense? Just because a st can memorize an algorithm or calculate #'s quickly does not mean that they have a strong sense of numbers. We want to develop thinkers, problem solvers and theory makers . . . we have calculators to . . . calculate.
If a student turns something in late, it doesn’t mean the student knows the content less.
