April 1 was a workday in Room 17!

 On April 1st, we played Cube-o in A Block.
 It's a great game that I've been playing in my classroom for 24 years!
 Basically, each group rolls 4 dice...
each person writes down those 4 numbers.
 When everyone has their groups numbers written down, I give the class a 'target number.'
 Their group then works to try to come up with an equation that equals that target number.
If they reach the target number, their score is -10.  Otherwise, their score is how many they are away from the target number.
If the target number is 3, and the group can get to 5, their score is 2.  If they can get to 1, their score is also 2, because they're 2 away from the target number.
You must use each number, and you can only use each number one time.
 As they were playing, I snapped a few pictures.  
Calvin was so involved in the game, he didn't notice the camera!
 The same with Jayden...
 Manny is new to our school...
I think he was wondering what in the world his teacher was doing!
 Room 17 probably told him he'd better get used to it!
We adore Manny, and are so glad he came to Room 17!
 Ella knew the camera was close, but she ignored it as she was focused on her math!
 Brooklyn was definitely concentrating...
 Jaden...always a happy girl!
 yeah, Tyler!
Tyler comes and volunteers in our classroom every Thursday and Friday during math!
 Acelyn...I wonder if she was cold?
 Ella...she was listening to her group!
 Brooklyn...
 Koa
 Rhea...who let me know her glasses were NOT real!
But they sure do look adorable on you!
 Joshua
Evan
 Jerica
 
 Fabian
 Someone, like maybe Tyson, was trying to hide from the camera...

 I think Tyson finally gave up!
 Acacia
 Ronnie

 Clint
 Oops..another child in hiding!
(P.S. She looks almost identical to Kyndel)
 Big Brother, AKA Everett!



 Stephanie...she wasn't trying to hide!

 'Thumbs up" from Calvin!
 Jayden
 Last but not least, it was Twin Day at school...Mrs. Bryan and I decided we'd dress as twins, too!
