We had a great day on The Ave!

We worked to plot numbers and fractions to the hundredths place on a place value chart.  Students are able to decompose fractions into unit form, creating models to support the math thinking.

During reading, students have utilized nonfiction text structure to research and prepare to debate.  Students have taken the side of a Loyalist or a Patriot, and are prepared for our debate tomorrow.  Their goal is to use evidence to convince members of the other party to join their cause.

We are working hard on our force and motion videos.  Students will be able to record tomorrow, so please allow them to bring materials for one more day, if needed.

Small groups have worked to create advertisements both for and against the annex of Texas into the United States.  The perspectives of both sides were included on each of the advertisements.  Ask your child to tell you more about the driving forces behind the annexation of Texas!

We will take the first part of our Westward Expansion assessment tomorrow, and our Forces in Motion assessment will be on taken on Tuesday. Don't forget to study!
