We like to show our strategies when it comes to STAAR review! Each time students are caught using their strategies, they get to add their name to the 100s chart. I use a random number generator daily to pick winners! #pisdmathchat #staarreview

Monday reminder via educator @Tea_Lover13: Today and every day, you are making a difference!
ALT "Do you know what makes teaching so worthwhile? When you receive a message from a student you taught years ago that says you had faith in him when many other people didn't. He remembers you because you made a difference. That's why I teach." โEducator Heather
