Happy Monday!  In math we reviewed multiplying mixed numbers by  mixed numbers.  TEST TUESDAY.
In ELA we focused on our Civil war novels and writing our interpretive essay.  Pre-writing (bullets, graphic organizer, etc.) should have been started today.
In Social Studies we started our Civil War unit.  Questions of the day..How did we go from a country united (ratification of the constitution) do a country divided, in only 73 years?  We looked at the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights again, to talk about who had rights?   We looked at the Gettysburg Address to see how it compared to the Declaration of Independence.
