Anyway, we continue to work on our Christopher Columbus arguments. This unit also serves as a practice inquiry into social studies, a practice we intend to pursue in the future. We have definitely gotten quite excited about it. Is he a hero? Is he a villain? Is here some of each? Does it depend who you are?
Today we work on making a powerful introduction (while we continue our research and power quote finding.)
Ms, Lamb has updated her upcoming assignments, so you can check that link. Here is what is says now:
Finished Christopher Columbus Arguments Friday June 2
Presentations End of Year Project June 13-16
End of year assessments:
Star Reading
Star Math
On Demand Argument (sit and write it in class in one to two periods)

Tonight's homework:
LA Spelling is finished for this year. Ms. Lamb may do a quick assessment, but will save the DSA (100 words) for the beginning of 6th and new group placement.
Christopher Columbus essay - work for 10-15 minutes at home each night if you have access to a computer for writing. If not, read something new from the packet.
READ - for at least 20 minutes per day - more is better - this will continue as a summer reading expectation
(More may get added tomorrow - I'm posting this Monday night)
