My apologies about not having an update yesterday. \u00a0I was feeling pretty awful, and we ended up having a substitute. \u00a0The substitute said that the students were fantastic, however, so that was good to come back to \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This morning we looked again at some primary sources, and real things native americans and colonists living in the 1600’s said. \u00a0Specifically we looked at these quotes:<\/p>\n
Colonies degenerate assuredly when the colonists imitate and embrace the habits, customs, and practices of the natives. There is no better way to remedy this evil than to do away with and destroy completely the habits and practices of the natives.<\/span><\/p>\n -Virginia Colony Promoter William Herbert, 1610<\/p>\n and this one..<\/p>\n Since that you are heere strangers and come into our Countrey, you should rather confine yourselves to the Customes of our Countrey, than impose yours upon us.<\/span><\/p>\n – A wicomesse Indian to the Governor of Maryland, 1633<\/p>\n We talked about these quotes and wrote them in our own words. \u00a0These quotes help explain that there was a definite culture clash going on between the European settlers, and the Native Americans. \u00a0Tonight students should look at these quotes (and their interpretation in their own words) and compare and contrast the attitudes of these two individuals.<\/p>\n PrimarySources<\/a><\/p>\n Compare and Contrast<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Next we got to go outside and look at our plants! \u00a0We harvested a cucumber, another radish, and a teensy weensy carrot. \u00a0Tomorrow we’ll cut them up and have \u00a0a little snack.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Yesterday the students had some work to do regarding the musculoskeletal system, and today we finished up talking about it. \u00a0We learned that bones are actually hollow, and not solid as we might think. \u00a0Inside there is spongy bone, as well as marrow. \u00a0 We also talked about how bones and muscles work together to move you, protect you, and to give you form. \u00a0Tonight students have a quick little worksheet to do regarding the jobs of muscles and the makeup of bones:<\/p>\n Muscles&Bones<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Finally we talked a great deal about decimals and number line representations. \u00a0We looked at how we can break up numbers on a number line into smaller parts and that these parts would be fractions of a whole. \u00a0We can also describe these fractions in base 10, or decimal, notation. \u00a0Tonight students have some number lines to fill in. \u00a0As always, there are examples!<\/p>\n DecimalNumberLineExamples<\/a><\/p>\n DecimalNumberLines<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n so, tl;dr<\/p>\n Look at the first and third quote, then compare and contrast these two individual’s viewpoints:<\/p>\n PrimarySources<\/a><\/p>\n Compare and Contrast<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tell me about muscles and bones<\/p>\n Muscles&Bones<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Fill in some number lines<\/p>\n DecimalNumberLineExamples<\/a><\/p>\n DecimalNumberLines<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n and as always, please please please read!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Have a good one,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n -Mr. Potter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My apologies about not having an update yesterday. \u00a0I was feeling pretty awful, and we ended up having a substitute. \u00a0The substitute said that the students were fantastic, however, so that was good to come back to \ud83d\ude42 This morning we looked again at some primary sources, and real things native americans and colonists … Continue reading Homework Oct 29 (Thurs)<\/span>
