Loving the focus on academic language in math!

Yesterday we did an activity with math vocabulary for Unit 1 and ACT words. They turned out great! #math2 #cummingsteacher

Dynamic assessments reflect what students have learned and allow them to showcase their assets. https://t.co/C5vQ5ZAMgM

@teach6jones Its amazing. Kids are capable of so much when you alter assessment methods to what suits them best

"I can still picture his defiant look, sitting on top of his desk, shoes smearing dirt on a pile of unfinished assignments. I didn't know how to deal with a kid like that."
