A Season of Gratitude
- Teachers trusting me to come into their space
- My own professional learning
- Relationships built on the joint responsibility of the success of students
- Discussions around problems of practice
- Teachers being comfortable enough to share struggles
- Being invited to be part of data team meetings
- Students being excited to see me
- Teachers emailing me with updates on student growth

- The opportunity to collaborate with amazing teachers and staff
I know our journey together is still in its infancy, but I am so grateful for our time together thus far. I wish you a wonderful month and a safe and joyful Thanksgiving.
MATHEMATICAL
"Mathematically proficient students consider the available tools when solving a mathematical problem. These tools might include pencil and paper, concrete models, a ruler, a protractor, a calculator, a spreadsheet, or a computer system.
PRACTICE
Proficient students make sound decisions about when each of these tools might be helpful, recognizing both the insight to be gained and their limitations. They detect possible errors by strategically using estimation and other mathematical knowledge.
STANDARDS
When making models, they can visualize the results of varying assumptions, explore consequences, and compare predictions with data. They are able to use tools to explore and deepen their understanding of concepts."
