As we move on to Colonial American literature do not forget what you learned about the Native Americans. There will be an assessment in the near future. (foreshadowing) ;)
With that said, I hope you are making the connections between your Family Tree Project and the original colonists of this country. This country was founded on its immigrants.
I also hope you are diligently learning those SAT words. There will be a quiz on them this week.
I am gathering songs for Hispanic Heritage month, so if you have any favorites let me know so I can add them to the blog.
Upcoming grades--
*Composing your own Corrido
*A Native American/Explorers/Colonial Americans Newspaper
*Edgar Allen Poe short stories/poems, partners project
Hope you are having a great Labor Day weekend. See you soon.

ReplyDeleteQUESTION:
f it is now 4:00 p.m. Saturday, in 253 hours from now, what time and day will it be? (Assume no daylight saving time changes in the period.)
---------------
i chose C i was incorrect, sorry =]
--------------
Correct Answer: E
* Here's Why:
Since each day has 24 hours, it is a good idea to divide 253 by 24 to find the number of complete 24-hour intervals in 253 hours and the number of hours remaining after the 24-hour intervals have been accounted for. When 253 is divided by 24, the quotient is 10 and the remainder is 13. The 10 complete 24-hour intervals tell you that 10 days, or one full week plus 3 days, go by, bringing you to Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. The 13 additional hours take you into the next day, Wednesday. The 253 hours will end at 5:00 a.m. on Wednesday.
