Congratulations to Jackson, Rebecca, Liam, Karsyn, and Aubrey! These 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students earned their Multiplication License for knowing all of their times tables fluency facts up to 10! Way to go Panthers! You also might be wondering, why is Mr. Klein dressed like that? Mr. Klein and his class have challenges where if they meet the classroom standards they get to pick his outfits from time to time. As you can tell they can be quite creative with their choices! 🤣😂#MultiplicationMasters #PESPantherPride
