Mr. T Goes to Phydeaux's House of Flowers


Today in math class, we took another trip to Minecraft.  This time, we were joined by Phydeaux the Math Pig.  After the trip, students had a chance to assist Phydeaux by using some of their multiplication skills.

This trip was made possible by Mineday, which is scheduled for Saturday, October 29 at Oak Forest Library.  Mineday is being organized by my 8th grade son as a community service project for school. You can read all the details about the event at this link.
