Congrats and great job to our class for winning the BoxTops contest for third grade!  We have won a Popsicle party!!


Here is our human clock!

We've been practicing time - please continue to study. The students do have some practice this weekend - I apologize for weekend homework, but we did to practice!  Telling time to the 5 minutes is a second grade standard, so this shouldn't be a big jump.  We just need to practice!



We are writing persuasive pieces that are meaningful.  Above shows advanced organization and brainstorming.  Ideas are 40% of the grade on the Georgia Writing Assessment and Write Scores tests.

Thurgood Marshall Study Guide

NAACP: National Association for the Advancement of Colored People

Civil Rights: the basic freedoms that all citizens deserve to have because they are citizens
Boycott: refusing to buy, sell, or use certain goods or services as a way to protest
Segregation: a system of keeping some people separate from others
Freedom of Conscience and Expression: the right to think and say as you wish
Debate: when several people discuss different sides of an issue in a formal way.

Segregation caused rules that kept certain groups of people from mixing with other groups.

Thurgood Marshall and Charles Hamilton Houston became good friends and law partners.  Together, the men worked for justice.


The court case was known as “Brown versus the Board of Education”  allowed African American to attend public schools with white children.

Thurgood Marshall served as a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States of America for 24 years.  Marshall was the first African American to become a Supreme Court judge.


Be able to explain how Thurgood Marshall helped improve civil rights.
