Excellence means always pursuing learning, growth, and positive change—not because we’re bad—but because we can be even better.
Keep aiming for excellence!

10 cards numbered 0-9. Pairs are place in envelopes with their sums written on the front of the envelope. If envelopes show 7 8 13 14 3, what cards are contained. Then 6 11 13 10 5, then 9 5 5 12 4, then 8 11 11 10 5. One of these is a real doozy and Ss show wonderful reasoning.
