“BELIEVE IN KIDS! GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO SOLVE PROBLEMS AND MAKE SENSE OF MATHEMATICS. YOU DO NOT NEED TO TELL THEM EVERYTHING. KIDS ARE AMAZING!” – John Van de Walle

MATH MAKES SENSE 9 SUB WORKSHOP September 29th, 2010

Prayer Heavenly Father, remind us each day that, of all the gifts you give us, the greatest gift is love. It is not enough to share that love with those we hold dear. Open our hearts not just to those who are close to us, but to all humanity. Let us be slow to judge and quick to forgive; show patience, empathy and love. Amen.
