These anchor resources were spotted outside of @kestreett’s classroom! I’m impressed with what’s already occurred in our math resource teacher’s classroom during week one! #MarsStars

I loved watching this student share his thinking during math today! The best part was seeing other students showing active listening and extending or clarifying their own thinking! A culture of learning is already present in @kestreett’s class! #MarsStars

So proud and excited to continue to improve our knowledge and implementation of restorative practices! Our team is dedicated and committed to this most important work! #MarsStars
