We delivered our speeches and voted on Wednesday, then on Thursday we discovered it was a tie! Noah and Michael’s groups are both tied for the majority of votes, so we conducted a re-vote. The result was Noah and vice president Giulia’s victory. We are currently working on doing research for our essays defending the candidate we want to win. Ms. Fought would like us to work on it at home, since it is due Wednesday. [the day after the election!]
In reading we started a new unit on social issues. We have been looking for social issues in our books that we read. Soon Ms.Greller will put us in book clubs, so we can discuss social issues together. We have written many reading entries and continue to do so. Following Ms. Greller’s advice, we are “reading as much as humanly possible!”
In math we started a new unit, decimals! We started learning place value and their meaning. We are using graphs to help us with see what the decimals look like. They are hanging up all around the classroom. We also are using charts to help us know where all the decimal points and the numbers go. Soon we will be multiplying decimals!! :]
