💣1. Grades are stupid. (🤦🏼♀️ I know. But, really... they are. 😳 And if you don’t do this, that student is not learning the concept anyway, so??? I put an “m” near the mark in my grade book so I know it was done “with modifications.” But, whatever works! ![]()
📣2. No one will really know about this version unless you announce it. So, if that’s an issue for you- don’t! 🤫 (Once you realize how great it is when students take ownership of what they need as learners, you may have new ideas about that👀.)![]()

I wonder what it’ll be like for him going into K this year at 6. I wonder what his class profile will be like...🤷🏼♀️ Trying not to worry...
