The Battle of Bunker Hill
The Battle of Bunker Hill took place on June 17, 1775 on the Charlestown peninsula as the first official battle of the Revolutionary War, where rebel Israel Putnam famously told his men not to fire until they saw the whites of the British eyes. Though the British suffered heavier casualties, they were ultimately victorious over the colonists who ran out of ammunition and resorted to throwing rocks and glass during the intense battle led by British General William Howe from June 16-17, 1775.
Battle of Bunker Hill
The Battle of Bunker Hill took place on June 17, 1775 in Charlestown, Massachusetts. The British forces of 2,400 soldiers led by Generals Howe and Gage attacked 1,500 American colonial troops led by Generals Ward, Putnam, and Warren, who were stationed on Breed's Hill. After two failed attacks that resulted in heavy British casualties, the British launched a third strike once they realized the colonial forces were out of ammunition, forcing the colonists to finally retreat. Though the British gained control of the area, it came at a high cost of 1,150 British soldiers killed or wounded compared to 450 colonial casualties.

The document summarizes key events of the American Revolution from 1775-1783. It discusses several acts passed by the British Parliament that taxed the colonies, leading to unrest. Major battles are described, including Lexington and Concord, Saratoga, and Yorktown. International alliances played an important role, as France entered the war as an ally of the colonies in 1778 after the Battle of Saratoga. The Continental Navy had some successes but was generally ineffective against the British Navy. The war ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1783, recognizing American independence.
The rise of the united states
The document provides an overview of the American Revolution from British colonial rule to the establishment of independence. It describes how the British levied taxes on American colonists without representation, leading to protests and resistance. Key events included the Boston Massacre, Boston Tea Party, battles of Lexington and Concord, and the first and second Continental Congresses. The Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776. Though the early war favored Britain, foreign aid and key American victories at Saratoga and Yorktown helped achieve independence.

US History Ch 7.1
The First Continental Congress met in 1774 to respond to the crisis in Boston and agreed to continue boycotting British goods while preparing militias. In April 1775, British troops marched to Concord to seize weapons from the colonists, sparking the Battles of Lexington and Concord where the "shot heard round the world" was fired, beginning the Revolutionary War. The Second Continental Congress then met and appointed George Washington as commander of the newly formed Continental Army to defend the colonies.
World war i
World War I began in 1914 and lasted until 1918. The major causes included imperialism, nationalism, militarism, and a system of alliances that divided Europe into two opposing sides. The war resulted in trench warfare and new military technologies. The U.S. initially remained neutral but entered the war in 1917 after German submarine attacks and the Zimmermann Telegram. After mobilizing over 4 million troops, American involvement helped the Allies defeat Germany in 1918. The Treaty of Versailles held Germany responsible for the war but its terms sowed resentment and instability in Europe.

In his farewell address before leaving office, President George Washington warned his countrymen to remain neutral in European affairs
and to avoid alliances that might drag the young nation into devastating wars. But by the first decade of the 1800s, it was becoming
impossible for the United States to stay out of European wars.
After the French Revolution, which began in 1789, Great Britain and France fought — again — for dominance in Europe. During their
wars, each nation blockaded the other to cut off its trade, and each used its navy to seize foreign ships on the open seas attempting to reach
the other nation with trade goods. Since the United States remained neutral, its merchant ships traded with both nations — and the navies
of both nations attacked American ships. After 1803, British ships began stopping U.S. merchant ships on the open seas and impressed
British-‐born U.S. citizens into the Britsh navy, claiming that the sailors were deserters. In 1807, the British H.M.S. Leopard bombarded and
forcibly boarded the U.S.S. Chesapeake off Norfolk, Virginia, in search of British navy deserters.
In 1807 President Jefferson responded by cutting off trade, first with all European nations and then only with Britain and France. But
this “Non-‐Intercourse Act” was impossible to enforce, and didn’t hurt the economies of the two warring nations as much as Jefferson had
hoped. Peop.

Small group tutoring is provided to students who are struggling based on progress monitoring data, with weekly assessments to check their response. Those who respond well return to regular classes with ongoing checks, while non-responders move to more intensive support including possible special education. All students are screened and monitored regularly to determine if extra help is needed, and special education students have individualized plans and monitoring to check progress and see if they can return to less support.
Marzano’S Best Practices And Instructional Strategies
Marzano's research identifies several effective instructional strategies that can improve student learning across content areas including identifying similarities and differences, summarizing and note taking, reinforcing effort and providing recognition, and setting objectives and providing feedback. These strategies require specific implementation techniques and teacher feedback to achieve their full effect on student learning as reported in research. While cooperative learning and other strategies can be effective, students also need time for independent skill practice and not all strategies work in every situation.
Pyramid Game
The document describes an academic vocabulary pyramid game with different levels corresponding to grade levels from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. Each level includes vocabulary words or concepts associated with that grade level and the number of points earned for correctly answering questions about each one.
Equations
1) The document contains examples of equations using variables to represent unknown quantities and solve word problems.
2) The equations show using letters like P to represent prices, W to represent weeks, and S to represent total savings to calculate totals.
3) Several word problems are presented that can be solved using equations that relate the variable representing an unknown quantity like number of items or weeks to other known variables and values.
6 Steps
The document outlines a 6 step process for teaching academic vocabulary:
1) The teacher introduces the term and provides a student-friendly explanation and examples.
2) Students restate the term in their own words using their background knowledge.
3) Students represent the term visually through drawings or other graphics.
4) Students use the term in other contexts to deepen their understanding.
5) Students discuss the term with peers to add to their understanding.
6) Vocabulary games provide further exposure to reinforce the term.
To Measure Something One Must
To measure something, one must first decide what attribute will be measured, such as length, weight, or volume. Then a standard unit for that attribute must be selected, such as centimeters or grams. The object to be measured is compared to the standard unit to see how many units it takes to match the attribute. For example, to measure the volume of a bucket, one could see how many cups of water it takes to fill the bucket. Standard measuring tools can also be used to quantify attributes, but comparisons must still be made to the standard units.
Personal Mastery2
Personal Mastery is a set of practices that support people in keeping their dreams whole while also cultivating an awareness of their current reality. This creates a tension between what one has and what one wants that naturally seeks resolution, so children try to move reality closer to their dreams.
Measurement Attribute
This document defines and provides examples of common measurement attributes used in science including length, area, perimeter, volume, capacity, time, weight/mass, and angles. Examples include measuring the length of a piece of paper using different units, comparing the areas of different rectangles, determining which rectangles can be made with a given perimeter, ordering containers by volume and capacity, timing a pendulum swing, and measuring angles with a protractor. Standard units provided include inches, feet, yards, miles, centimeters, meters, kilograms, grams, seconds, minutes, hours, and degrees.
Measurement And Geometry Bav
The document lists geometry and measurement terms organized by grade level including: kindergarten terms like circle, square, triangle, length, and time; 1st grade terms like inch, foot, hour, and temperature; 2nd grade terms like fractions, gallons, pounds, and symmetry; 3rd grade terms like area, perimeter, faces, and metric units; 4th grade terms like angles, parallel, perpendicular, and rotation; and 5th grade terms like metric prefixes, plane, and straight angle.
Developing Measurement Concepts
Measurement involves comparing an attribute of an item to a standard unit with the same attribute, such as comparing lengths to units of length. To measure meaningfully, one must understand the attribute being measured and be familiar with the unit of measure used. Estimating measurements and benchmarks for common units helps increase familiarity and prevent errors, aiding meaningful use of measurement. Measurement instruments replace direct use of units, so it is important to understand how they work for correct, meaningful use. Area and volume formulas allow measuring using only length measures. Area, perimeter, and volume are related though not precisely, as shapes change but maintain the same area or volume.
Assessments
Progress monitoring involves regularly testing critical reading skills to determine if a student is making adequate progress and whether instruction needs modification to accelerate reading achievement. Diagnostic tests measure a variety of skills and are given if extra help is not resulting in adequate progress to precisely plan instruction. Screening tests provide an initial assessment of a student's preparation to identify those who may need extra help to make sufficient progress in reading.
Character First
The document provides definitions, I will statements, quotes, synonyms, and antonyms for 12 character traits - one for each month of the year. The traits are faith, responsibility, patience, initiative, self-control, punctuality, resourcefulness, tolerance, creativity, discretion. For each trait there is a definition, examples of how to demonstrate that trait through "I will" statements, an antonym and synonym, and supporting quotes about the importance of that trait.
Personal Mastery 4
Children and adults alike are motivated to learn new skills that will help them achieve purposes and visions they have, such as playing with friends, gaining independence, or communicating with family. Lifelong learning allows people to actively engage with life and work toward creating their desired futures.
Personal Master 3
Learning is most effective when sparked by the learner's own interest and curiosity, as this allows learners to see where they want to go and assess where they currently are. For learning to be enduring, it requires the learner's ardent interest and assessment of their own progress. Effective learning happens when driven by the learner's own motivation to understand.
Personal Master 1
Teachers act as coaches to help students achieve personal mastery. This coaching begins with how teachers view their students - with an open mind to each child's potential and a belief that they can achieve their dreams and aspirations regardless of any limits, background, or obstacles they face.
