It may only be September, but 5th graders have already knocked a priority standard off their list in Math! Spent today conferencing with each student to discuss their scale scores! Blown away by the effort given on their bonus questions so they can earn a ‘4’ ✅ @CrossCounty1

How’s your day going? I just had to justify the spelling of the word ‘knife’ to my Ukrainian student. “K?! No, Mrs. Woodruff. No K”. Understandable reaction tbh 🤣🤣
