Q1: Join me tonight recognizing the strengths and brilliance of second graders. Today, I co-taught a lesson with a first-year teacher. We showed the students a giant Clifford the Dog paw print and the footprint of a teeny tiny woman. What do you Notice and Wonder?

Q2: The students said things like… The big red thing looks like a flower,, and “Is it a paw print?” The other one looks like deer tracks, shoes, and then “It looks like a lady’s shoe.”Then we asked, “What is the math question going to be?” Predict the math question(s) we asked

Q3: The students paired and came up with the following math questions: Our Math question was, How many pawprints will fit across the room? How many teeny tiny woman feet will fit across the room? Estimate how many of each will fit across the room you are sitting in!

I’m here to witness mathematical brilliance and the brilliance that each human shares with me. They may not know their own brilliance but it is there. It is up to us to see and lift up and champion. What if it’s all we see? 💜
