These friendships in 2nd grade melt my heart! I love how much compassion and kindness these friends give to one another!

I have been so impressed with all the strategies I’ve been seeing during our math lessons!
Here was today’s problem: Pencils are sold in boxes of 10 pencils. Mr. Lee needs 100 pencils. He has 40 pencils. How many boxes of 10 pencils should he buy?

[Ms. Emma Laney @MsLaney_2nd]

One thing I’ll always remember from my undergrad, said best by a CC professor, “The people that are doing the talking are the people doing the learning.” I am happy embracing social conversations by these young people and so proud of how they’ve grown.

[Ms. Emma Laney @MsLaney_2nd]

Happy Thanksgiving!!🦃🍽🍁
