Array City

Students created their own "Array Cities" to showcase their knowledge of arrays. Students constructed their arrays throughout the city and showcased the multiplication fact sentence that matched. This was a fun and relevant way to display our learning. 

First in Math Challenge

Let's see how many classmates can move up from Rookie to Student in our First in Math Program. I challenge you to MOVE UP in 1st in Math. 
Rookie= 0-249 stickers
Student= 250-499
Scholar= 500-999
Whiz= 1,000-1, 499

Who will take the challenge? Who will our STUDENT of the DAY be tomorrow? And will our team ever get off Rookie status?
