Arrays are all Around Us!

Check out all of the arrays that students brought in this week! I was amazed with all of the creative examples that were found! Keep practicing finding them at home and determining the multiplication number sentence!

Yesterday students got to practice exercising their right to vote!  They voted for things such as their favorite St. Louis attraction, favorite past President, and much more. This was a very exciting time for the students and I know we all enjoyed it!
