Ss getting to know those classmates in a fun way.
Ss collaborate to solve problems using the mathematical practices, especially perseverance. Using a white board allows for risk taking as Ss mistakes are not permanent. @AmyFiene

I’m so ready to have ALL my students back in one room!
Beginning March 22, all NKC Schools students in grades 6-12 who are learning in person will attend on site five days per week. Read the update Dr. Clemens shared with all families at nkcschools.org/cms/lib/MO490… and see answers to Frequently Asked Questions at nkcschools.org/Page/6352.
Even during a pandemic, students working together and sharing their thinking is music to my ears.
