Shout out to our “Mask Task Force” for providing masks so our students can continue to learn & collaborate! Algebra 1 students are happy to be back in the classroom. With face masks & technology, we are still able to collaborate. Algebra 1 students worked with a partner on a problem solving activity, 31derful. They had to make a 5x5 square with a deck of cards so that each row and column sum to 31. #gowarriors
