Metric and Imperial Measures

In math we introduced metric and imperial measures.

Remember, a foot is about 30cm.

How many yards are there in a mile?

Tomorrow we will present our Taichung Power Project proposals.

Homework:

  1.  Practice the spelling words.
  2. Read for at least 30 minutes every day.
  3. Use Khan Academy for at least an hour over the week.
  4. Challenge: build a diorama that shows traditional life in a Native American tribe (before European settlement).  You can choose any Native American group.  I would prefer groups that lived in what is now the United States but if you really want to make a diorama about a group in another part of the Americas, I won’t stop you.  There is an example from last year in our classroom.  This project is due in the final week of this quarter.
