Word Wednesday - Vocabulary Fun

Here's another video with a new vocabulary word.  I challenge you to use it in your writing this week.

               2.  a special right or privilege given to someone

Math Movement Mondays

Decimals/Place Values and Area Models/Multiplication 

Walking Up the Stairs

I know some 5th Grade teachers are going over decimals and place values this week while some 4th Grade teachers are reviewing area models and multiplication. Once you have completed your math problems, take the answers and "step" the number in the place value.  If you don't have stairs, no worries, do jumping jacks to "jump" out the number.  Please watch the videos  to better understand what to do.  Have fun!
