A few more #goodnewscallhome and I had to brag on this kiddo who chose to have Mr. G write her math problems during recess this week because she loves math and a good challenge. Exponents and parenthesis in 2nd grade! Love to see her own love for learning and remaining curious, one of our POWER skills. #lesfamily #learningisfun
