Thursday, January 14th

We began our day with completing our daily grammar.  Then we continued reading Gathering Blue and practicing making text-based inferences.  We also began a new reading titled "Mom, Did You Vote?"  Students worked on identifying suffragist actions and next week they will write about how they informed and influenced others in order to get the right to vote.

We discussed the propaganda poster below.  It shows how opponents of women's suffrage tried to influence others to believe that families would fall apart if women gained the right to vote.

During social studies we continued learning about World War I.  On Tuesday we will learn about how civilians helped on the home front.  Students also received their study guides today.  I suggest that they begin working on it over the weekend so they'll be prepared for the assessment.
