Fun Language Arts detail…. Students have

started the “Niagara Falls” unit.

They gathered clues in their reading spiral today and they have not seen all of the pictures on the Whiteboard.

Writing: The students will be writing a persuasive argument about if they would or would not go over Niagara Falls in 1901.

The year is heavily stressed along with no modern technology.

FYI: Students will learn that it is currently against the law to go over Niagara Falls.

Annie Edson Taylor was the first person and woman to go over Niagara Falls in 1901. She stated that no one should do it.

Look forward to hearing about it!
