We completed our daily grammar and continued reading/discussing Messenger.  Then we did a notes check so students between both classes could make sure all of our notes are consistent.  Then we continued learning about the Great Depression by focusing on the Dust Bowl.  We watched, discussed, and took notes on a video clip.  Then students read "Children of the Dust" in their social studies textbooks.  They answered some reading comprehension questions and finished the lesson by writing a reflection about minorities during the Great Depression.
