·        Cesar Chavez and his family moved to California to find work during the Great Depression.

·        Cesar Chavez showed that he believed in freedom of expression when he spoke for the rights of others.

·        Groups of people form labor unions because they have more power as a group than they would as individuals.

·        What does Si, se puede mean?  (Yes, it can be done)

·        Cesar Chavez is considered an American hero because he fought for workers’ rights.

Be able to locate Arizona and California on the US map.

Be able to read a timeline. 

Marshmallow Mathematicians!

Also, with the time constraints of the ACFB, I was not able to get to downtown between 8-5 M-F, so when I served the homeless with 7Bridges on Tuesday night, I gave the food drive collection to the Gardens, the women's and children's shelter that partners with 7Bridges!

These men are on staff with 7 Bridges and loaded our donation into the van! I am holding the card that Abby made from our class. :) They were VERY GRATEFUL!!!!  It's very cool when kids can donate specifically for other kids to benefit.  :)

Looking for more Caught Doing Good volunteers!  Send me an email!

REVISED Social Studies:  Lyndon B. Johnson Study Guide

Campaign- the period during which people running for office try to convince          voters to vote for them

                                

Civil rights- the basic rights that all citizens in a country have

                                                                       

Poverty- lack of money                            

Segregation- the practice of keeping people of different races apart

                                                                       

Tolerance- respect for others’ values and beliefs         

                                               

Lyndon B. Johnson grew up in a house with no electricity and no running water and that many other people faced the same hardships.  One problem that LBJ wanted to solve was poverty.

Not allowing African Americans to stay at the same hotels or eat at the same restaurants as other people is known as segregation.

Senator Lyndon B. Johnson believed that all citizens share basic freedoms that should be respected, and he persuaded other people to pass laws to protect these freedoms, known as civil rights.

Lyndon B. Johnson believed that everyone deserved to be respected no matter what their differences. This shows LBJ’s tolerance towards others.

After Lyndon B. Johnson served as Vice President, he suddenly became the President of the United States because the President was killed.

LBJ’s work displayed the character trait of diligence when he worked for a long time to end segregation. He succeeded when Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Spending more money to improve education, housing, and health were part of Johnson’s plan, which was called The Great Society.

Part of President Lyndon B. Johnson helped create a government program to help preschool children learn to read.  The program is still in use today; it is called Head Start.

President Lyndon B. Johnson signed a law that made it illegal to require African Americans to take tests in order to vote and ended other unfair practices.  The law was called the voting right act.

To pay for the services that government provides, people pay taxes.

Weekend Homework - So sorry!

Hi yall,

Today we were not ready for our math test, so I made a better study guide then the one the kids had.  Pro:  I explained how to find every answer on the guide!!!  Andddd...your kids should get an A on the test if they understand this study guide.  Con:  they have weekend homework.  My apologies, but I just did not feel they were ready today.  In the event they lose it, here they are!

Green Group SAMS Test Review

#3 Find the missing dimension: Remember:  LxW = Area and L + L + W + W = Perimeter

Ex:The area of a book is 18 square inches. Its height is 6 inches. What is its width?  _________

So 6 x ? = 18  3!  3 is the missing dimension!  Answer:  the width 3 inches

Your turn:  Find the missing dimensions!

The area of a book is 24 square inches.  Its height is 6 inches.  What is its width?  _____________

The area of a carpet is 63 square feet.  Its width is 9 feet.  What is the height?  _____________

The area of a garden is 32 square feet.  Its width is 8 feet.  What is the height?  _____________

Ex: The perimeter of a book is 18 inches.  Its height is 6 inches.  What is its width?  _________

I know the perimeter is 18 inches, so L + L + W + W = 18.  I know the height (length) is 6, so 6 + 6 = 12.  The other two sides have to add up to what is left.  18-12=6.   So W + W = 6  I will divide 6 between the 2 sides.  The width must be 3!  Answer:  the width 3 inches

Your turn:  Find the missing dimensions!

The perimeter of a book is 12 inches.  Its height is 2 inches.  What is its width?  _____________

The perimeter of a book is 38 inches.  Its height is 12 inches.  What is its width?  _____________

#5:  Elapsed time

To find elapsed time, you need to figure out what you need:  start time or end time.  Then to find out how much time has passed between the start and end, you can: 

·         Find hours first, then minutes.  Count up (Ex:  3:30 to 4:45 – 3:30-4:30 is 1 hour, then you need to add 15 minutes to get to 4:45.    

·         Subtract if there is no borrowing of minutes to hours:  the minutes number needs to be bigger.  (example:  The show ended at 6:47.  It started at 6:17.  How much time passed?  47-17=30 min.)

·         Use a clock to figure it out.

Your turn:  

·         How much time passed between 2:30 and 4:45?

·         How much time passed between 1:15 and 4:30?

·         Each show is 30 minutes.  The show ended at 10:30.  What time did it start?

·         Each show is 30 minutes.  The show ended at 12:45.  What time did it start?

#6 Determine if the scenario wants area or perimeter:

·         How much fencing is needed  ____________________

·         How much carpet is needed ____________________

·         How much paint is needed for a wall ____________________

·         How much border is needed to go around the top of the wall in a room ____________________

·         How much mulch is needed to cover a garden ____________________

·         How much tile is needed for a classroom ____________________

Key words:  Perimeter – around the outside, around the edge  Area:  cover something

#7 Formulas for finding Area and Perimeter

How do you find area?  Multiply the dimensions – length times width:  LxW = Area then Label with SQUARE UNITS!

If it is a square, that means that you multiply the side length times the same number.  SxS = area of a square then Label with SQUARE UNITS!

How do you find perimeter?  Add up all the sides.  L+L+W+W=perimeter .  If it is a square, add sides up.  Side+side+side+side = perimeter of a square  Label with the unit.

Your turn:  Find the area and perimeter of the following shapes.  Don’t forget labels!

Round the following metric measurements: 

789 cm = ______ m             6,134 mm = ______ m         314 cm = ________ m         67mm = _____cm

How long is the item?  Subtract the end point from the starting point.  Don’t forget to draw the lines!

Pink:  We crossed out some of their problems to decrease the work!!  #1 they had a hard time, so I did my best to very clearly write down how we discussed it!

Pink Group:  SAMS Unit Test Prep:  HOTS Perimeter and Area Practice

#1 Directions/Example:  Story problem for making a lay out of a garden, etc.  List all of the dimensions possible for a rectangle with the perimeter (♫perimeter is around…♫) of 24.  

This means L + L + W + W = 24   

                                                            Length  (remember, the longer side is the length)

                    Width                                                                   Width

                                                            Length

Next, to make it easier, let’s divide this in half. So, L + W = 12.  Now, we will find all the factors that add up to 12.  We could not have a dimension of 0, so start with 1.  To check, we add L+L+W+W = 24 

1+11 (Check:  1+1+11+11=24)

2+10 (Check:  2+2+10+10=24)

3+9 (Check:  3+3+9+9=24)

4+8 (Check:  4+4+8+8=24)

5+7 (Check:  5+5+7+7=24)

6+6 (Check:  6+6+6+6=24) 

Once we have listed all of the numbers that add up to 12 (half the perimeter, remember), we will now turn these into the dimensions of our rectangles. 

1X11 = area of 22, perimeter of 24

2X10= area of 20, perimeter of 24

3X9= area of 27, perimeter of 24

4X8= area of 32, perimeter of 24

5X7= area of 35, perimeter of 24

6X6= area of 36, perimeter of 24   

So the perimeter will remain the same, but the area of each will change.

Your turn: Find all of the possible layouts for a garden that will have a perimeter of 48 feet.

#2  Directions/Example:  Area:  List all the dimensions of a shape with an area of 24. 

To do this, you find all the factors that multiply to equal 24.  We always start with 1, and move up to 10. 

·         Every time, we start with 1, so 1 X 24

·         Does 2 divide in equally to 24? 24 is even, so yes! 2X12

·         Does 3 divide in equally to 24? Yes!  3x8

·         Does 3 divide in equally to 24? Yes!  4x6

·         5 is the only number left in the middle of 4 and 6, and it does NOT divide equally into 24.  So those are all the factor sets of 24! 

All of the dimensions of rectangles with an area of 24 are:  1x24, 2x12, 3x8, and 4x6

Here we observe that the area will stay the same, but the shape (dimensions) of the rectangle will change.  This relates area and perimeter again:  the area may stay the same, but perimeter will change. 

Your turn:  Find all of the rectangles with an area of 28. 

#3 Find the missing dimension: Remember:  LxW = Area and L + L + W + W = Perimeter

Ex:The area of a book is 18 square inches. Its height is 6 inches. What is its width?  _________

So 6 x ? = 18  3!  3 is the missing dimension!  Answer:  the width 3 inches

Your turn:  Find the missing dimensions!

The area of a book is 56 square inches.  Its height is 7 inches.  What is its width?  _____________

The area of a book is 22 square inches.  Its height is 11 inches.  What is its width?  _____________

The area of a carpet is 63 square feet.  Its width is 9 feet.  What is the height?  _____________

The area of a garden is 32 square feet.  Its width is 8 feet.  What is the height?  _____________

Ex: The perimeter of a book is 18 inches.  Its height is 6 inches.  What is its width?  _________

I know the perimeter is 18 inches, so L + L + W + W = 18.  I know the height (length) is 6, so 6 + 6 = 12.  The other two sides have to add up to what is left.  18-12=6.   So W + W = 6  I will divide 6 between the 2 sides.  The width must be 3!  Answer:  the width 3 inches

Your turn:  Find the missing dimensions!

The perimeter of a book is 12 inches.  Its height is 2 inches.  What is its width?  _____________

The perimeter of a book is 38 inches.  Its height is 12 inches.  What is its width?  _____________

The perimeter of a yard is 64 feet.  Its length is 14 inches.  What is its width?  _____________

The perimeter of a room is 48 feet.  The width of the room is 8 feet.  What is the length?  _________

To find elapsed time, you need to figure out what you need:  start time or end time.  Then to find out how much time has passed between the start and end, you can: 

·         Find hours first, then minutes.  Count up (Ex:  3:30 to 4:45 – 3:30-4:30 is 1 hour, then you need to add 15 minutes to get to 4:45.

·         Use a clock

Your turn:  

·         How much time passed between 2:30 and 4:45?

·         How much time passed between 1:15 and 4:30?

·         How much time passed between 11:30 and 1:00?

·         How much time passed between 10:00 and 1:45?

·         Each show is 30 minutes.  The show ended at 10:30.  What time did it start?

·         Each show is 30 minutes.  The show ended at 12:45.  What time did it start?

·         Each show is 60 minutes.  The show ended at 8:35.  What time did it start?

#6 Determine if the scenario wants area or perimeter:

·         How much fencing is needed  ____________________

·         How much carpet is needed ____________________

·         How much paint is needed for a wall ____________________

·         How much border is needed to go around the top of the wall in a room ____________________

·         How much mulch is needed to cover a garden ____________________
