SHOUT OUT
This week's shout out goes to Sasha Thompson! Sasha has built strong relationships with her students and it has allowed her to challenge her students without deterring them from engaging. They are able to accept her challenge and come back to give her stronger and deeper answers. She is always pushing them to think deeper about the why behind their thinking! Kudos Sasha!
