4th Grade Math: Today the students warmed up with a multiplication array game called, Boxed In followed by a multiplication fact review of all of the tables 1-9.

States Bingo- To kick off this weeks group of state names we played States Bingo using interesting facts about each state as a clue.
Writing prompt activity: Students were given a yellow slip of paper with a writing prompt, such as, "When I stepped out the door . . ." to begin a quick write story. During the writing process new slips of paper including animals, forms of transportation and select adjectives were dropped in front of them by the teachers. The goal for the writer is to find creative ways to include the new bits of information into the story they have going (at the same time to not stop writing).
