Social Studies
In Social Studies this week, students continued studying Missouri during and after the Civil War. During the War, Missouri was a border state. Some MO citizens wanted to abolish slavery, while others wanted to keep the practice. After Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, many residents helped African Americans to find word, housing, and education. After the War ended, railroads help to quickly transport people (which made the population boom) and goods (which encouraged more and more people to find work in factories).
Math
This week in Math, students continued to study geometry and three dimensional figures. We practiced classifying different polygons including parallelograms, types of triangles, and more. We practiced identifying faces, edges, and vertices. Toward the end of the week, we illustrated fractions and mixed numbers on a number line.
