4th Grade Math: Today we started math with a Quick Image warm up. Students were shown a group of dots for three seconds and then were asked to recreate the dots in the correct formation. The purpose of this exercise was for students to see how other’s think of numbers and how to form different types of equations with the same answer. After our warm up, we got back together with our partners to work on arrays.
Today in Strawberry
We continued to work on our poems, perfecting them in our final drafts. Many of the students have gotten so into writing poems they’ve written two, some three!

This afternoon we met with our buddies from Laurel Creek. Buddy partners worked together to create a collaborative drawing. They were asked to communicate with each other and make sure that both partners had marks on all four quadrants of the paper. Many of our buddies learned new drawing techniques from each other and created some beautiful drawings!
