Testimonials

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.
— 1st Grade Teacher
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.
