Lots of literacy opportunities in Mrs. Koch’s room and supports from Mrs. Garbark. Students participated in small group, collaborative team work, and independent reading after whole group instruction. 💫👏🏼 @kellylmarks54 @AGHoulihan @UCPSNC @boatcandice @KochsClassroom

If you want to change your situation you must first change your thoughts. Because if you keep on thinking what you have been thinking you’ll keep on getting what you have been getting.
