What is the most meaningful thing you learned from math class? "You might not always get it right the first or second t but you will get it eventually." and "That the teacher is the true person who makes math awesome for everyone, thank you Mrs. Mukusa! #persevere #relationships

Might look different and they might only be this close for 5 minutes but loved being in class, seeing them getting to know each other and building community! #missedthis
