Here we are playing Modeling Equations Four Corners. This is the toughest section of our equations studies and boy did we rock it! Students are doing the YMCA as they wait patiently for others to answer the model question and travel to the correct corner. We did the disco, dabbed, macarena, sprinkler, and so much more!

 Other exciting things this week: 

• Another lost tooth!
• The mannequin challenge (video link coming soon)!
