Here's what teachers are saying 

I loved how playful all of the routines were that the session addressed. The cooperative routines (You-Me Draw, Sticks and Stones, Help Me See it Too) are definitely something I will use in my classroom this year. I think they are important and helpful in teaching collaboration, partner work and turn taking.

The flexibility to use all the routines at different times of the year to build different language skills is helpful. I especially appreciated that many of them can be introduced very early in the year to build classroom community as well.
— Kindergarten Teacher
I learned short, rigorous and effective math routines that can be interspersed throughout the teaching week. I also learned how to think about what learning objectives could be set in terms of language and social emotional learning, along with the math goals.
