I wanted to let you know that I had the BEST group lesson today with a group that I have been struggling with since the beginning of the year. I tweaked my lesson to accommodate as many new strategies as I could, and it was magical. They were super engaged for the entire time!!! Really looking forward to getting better at this!! Michaela and I are very happy to have spent the past 3 days with you and both found it extremely useful. One of her students said this morning “This was kind of fun”…
