They can talk about everything else, but we have to teach them how to talk about math. We have to give them the words, give them the tools." —Keri Brown"Predictable routines really help students feel safe because they know what's going to happen." —Eric Cross"It's impactful to spend that little extra time saying, 'Let me build some relationships and show these babies how to be students in my classroom.'" —Ana Torres
