U.S. HISTORY
In class on Tuesday we learned that it was President William McKinley's birthday. We also learned some interesting Presidential facts about him, such as:
1) He was born on January 29th, 1843 in Niles, Ohio.
2) He was the last veteran of the Civil War to serve as President.
3) He is the President on the $500 bill.
4) He has the unfortunate distinction of being one of four presidents to be assassinated.
We also learned some facts about other Presidents... including things like Abraham Lincoln was the first president born outside of the original 13 states. We learned that he was the tallest President, at 6'4", like our own Grant Hayworth and Darrion Brooks! We learned that our shortest president was James Madison at 5'4". We learned that there were two sets of Presidents who were "father and son," and one set was "grandfather and grandson."
We mentioned a few other facts about Presidents... some that you may not remember, some that you may. Here are some questions for you to look up using the Internet or a book on Presidents that you may have or could get from the library:
1. Which four Presidents were assassinated, and in what year?
2. Which six Presidents survived assassination attempts?
3. Which four other Presidents died in office (not being assassinated)?
Now, I want you to find THREE OTHER INTERESTING PRESIDENTIAL FACTS about ANY President. The facts should be something you MAY NOT HAVE KNOWN. Write the President's name, the years (2016-2020, etc) he was in office, and the fact. So, it should be answered like this:
4. President 1:
5. Fact:
6. Years (date) in office:
7. President 2:
8. Fact:
9. Years (date) in office:
10. President 3:
11. Fact:
12. Years (date) in office:
Last part of your assignment: You know we have some great Presidential Quotes on the wall in our classroom. In fact, we have one for each President! I want you to find another quote, one you like from any one of our Presidents. Make sure it is really something he said by checking multiple sources. Make sure it is DIFFERENT from the one on our classroom wall. If you are not sure if it is a quote already on our wall, then find TWO quotes from your favorite President (because there is only ONE quote from each President on our wall!)
13. Presidential Quote of your choice:
14. Which President said it:
1) He was born on January 29th, 1843 in Niles, Ohio.
2) He was the last veteran of the Civil War to serve as President.
3) He is the President on the $500 bill.

ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS
On Tuesday in class we worked on Tenses of Verbs. Review this by going over pages 150-151 in your packet that was sent home with you on Tuesday. Your assignment from that day was to do 1-15 odd of the Guided Practice.
Your E-Learning Assignment for English today is to take out a sheet of paper and do page 152, Independent Practice. Do the EVEN NUMBERS on Part A and ALL of the numbers on Part B, 24-35. This is to be turned in on the next day that we have school. BE CAREFUL on part B.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN, YOU SHOULD ALL READ THE FOLLOWING TWO PARAGRAPHS TO HELP YOU REVIEW AND GET STARTED. You will need your sheet in front of you and be able to look at number 24 and 34 as you read this so that you can understand. Go between these directions and the sheet. It will also give you TWO ANSWERS that you need as "freebies," so read on!
Make sure you don't mix up singular and plural (one or more than one) or regular tenses with perfect tenses! For example, number 24 you need to write "decide" in the present, as it fits in the sentence. So, read the sentence and you will see you would put "decides" for your answer: "Then the producer DECIDES on a director." If you put "decide" you are putting it for a plural subject.... but it is NOT plural in this one. (Example: one producer DECIDES, but two producers DECIDE).
Also, whereas number 24 was PRESENT... and your answer was DECIDES.... look at 34 to compare. In 34, it says PRESENT PERFECT. If you remember what we did in class, PERFECT always has a PAST form with a form of "has or have" in front of it. So on 34, you would see the word "iron" and know that it needs to be IRONED with an ed, and with a form of has or have in front of it. Because this one is PRESENT perfect, we would have HAS IRONED for the answer. If it had asked for PAST PERFECT you would put HAD IRONED. If it had asked for FUTURE PERFECT it would be WILL HAVE IRONED. But notice, ALL OF THE PERFECT FORMS would have ironED with and ED as the perfect word. The "present, past, and future" in the perfect are the words "has/have, had, and will have." Make sense? If not, text me at 260-417-2229... or ask in class on Friday!
