@HoustonLIB @24game @LCPSLiberty I told my kids this today & they want to challenge you. "Tell Mrs. Houston it's on during learning lab next Wednesday." 😂

Hopped into a breakout room today to find Ss finished early & googling @24game cards. Overheard: "see if you can find a 3 dot, I want a challenge." I'm so proud! ❤ @LCPSLiberty #LibertyTogether #iteachmath

@chalkrelic @24game @LCPSLiberty I think of you & all my Meriwether people every single time we play! I learned from the best. ❤

Just taught one of my favorite lessons ever using the Prime Climb numbers from @MathforLove. Ss had SO MANY noticings & wonderings; yes we can have rich mathematical discussions online! @LCPSLiberty

So impressed with my 5th graders' patience & persistence in week 1! The 2 most common feelings we shared at Friday's closing meeting were pride & exhaustion. Looking forward to a great year! @LCPSLiberty #LibertyTogether

Can't thank @pta_liberty enough for the generous lunch today! I felt very appreciated as I ate my barbecue 😀
