This is first day at First Avenue - 1st grade !!! They were figuring out how to represent their favorite numbers using multiple ways of representation. I was amazed with how they responded to one of the activities from Inspirational Math @principalbranco@NPSvoices
Our first day of school at First Ave was one of the most efficient and organized school openings. Students, faculty and staff, and parents were all in the same accords. Can’t beat that! Thanks to @principalbranco@NPSvoices
How to help your students feel comfortable taking on challenges, even if they might fail:
1. Celebrate perseverance.
2. Share your mistakes.
3. Allow retakes.
4. Discover 'the power of yet.'
5. Note the failures of successful people.
