PACKETS FOR COMING WEEKS:
June 8th: Packets will have some end of year review activities so teachers can do a check in on skills as we end the year and plan for next year. Last week, we used the word “assessment” which may have been misleading.

June 15th: Packets will feature fun activities such as “field day” PE games.

Report cards will be available in Family Access/Skyward on June 19th. Visit the continuous learning website ( https://bit.ly/ElemRC619 ) for directions on how to access. Report cards will not show number grades for this trimester, but will have comments from teachers.

77 ____ 100
; 0.77
Think: The whole is divided into one hundred equal parts, so each part is one hundredth.
Use the number line to compare. Write true or false.
8. 0.8 > 0.78
9. 0.4 > 0.84
10. 0.7 < 0.70
11. 0.4 > 0.04
Compare. Write true or false.
12. 0.09 > 0.1
13. 0.24 = 0.42
14. 0.17 < 0.32
15. 0.85 > 0.82
Problem Solving 16. Kelly walks 0.7 mile to school.
Mary walks 0.49 mile to school. Write an inequality using <, >, or = to compare the distances they walk to school.
17. Tyrone shades two decimal grids. He shades 0.03 of the squares on one grid blue. He shades 0.3 of another grid red. Which grid has the greater part shaded?
Think: 3 tenths is less than 5 tenths.
So, 0.35 < 0.53

Making a Difference for ImmigrantsPeople have been immigrating to America for hundreds of years. They have come
for adventure, wealth, work opportunities, and to escape persecution. Often that’s what they have found. They also often found themselves in unfamiliar surroundings and among people who didn’t want them here. One inspiring company went out of its way to make life better for immigrants.
In the late nineteenth century, young John Michael Kohler immigrated to the United States from Austria with his family. Kohler grew up and married a woman whose father co-owned a successful business in the steel and iron works industry. Kohler then purchased the business from his father-in-law in 1873, and the Kohler Company was founded. The company soon manufactured bathtubs and bath fixtures near Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and continues to do so today.
Kohler needed a great many workers to make all those bathtubs, sinks, and toilets! Unlike many other companies of that time, which exploited immigrants for labor, the Kohler Company tried to provide a better life for its employees.
Many of Kohler’s workers were Austrian immigrants, just like John Michael Kohler was. The company emphasized worker safety, medical care, and good wages. One of the company’s priorities was to ensure that Kohler employees not only had pleasant working conditions but also decent living conditions. Kohler began transforming the Village of Kohler into one of the first planned communities in the Midwest. The town had many attractive features: green spaces, single and two-family homes, recreational facilities, and a school. Creating a company town helped the Kohler business attract and keep a stable workforce.
The Kohler Company still wanted to do more so it built the American Club, a dormitory for immigrant employees. Housing costs were minimal. Many unmarried Kohler employees stayed there until they saved enough to buy a house and send for their families. Employees took lessons in English, American history, and civics. Immigrant workers got a day off and transportation to the courthouse as a first step toward becoming citizens. Between 1900 and 1930, the Kohler Company helped at least 1,200 immigrant workers become citizens.
Immigrants may have very different reasons for coming here, but most arrive with high hopes. The Kohler Company made a difference in the lives of its immigrant workers who were trying to make a new and better life in a foreign land.
