Dear Teachers

  • Please prioritize safety. Remind the students to avoid any dangerous movements to prevent injuries and damage.

  • If a student is having trouble with the '?! Your Choice' space, please give them a hint. You can ask questions like, “What did you do this morning?” or “What do you usually do after school?” These questions will help them think about what they did recently.
