Children were often preferred to work in factories, because factory owners viewed them as more manageable, cheaper, and less likley to strike. American children worked in large number`s in mines, glass factiries, textiles, agriculture, canneries, home industries, and as newsboys messengers, bootblacks, and peddlers. In 1836 Massachusetts limts children`s work days to 10 hours. other states soon pass similar laws, but most of these laws are consistently enforced. Some boys and girls were so small they had to climb up on the spinning frame to mend broken theards and to put back the empty bobbins!

Testing Day 1
Today we tested in reading and I have to say that I noticed many 5th graders really giving their maximum effort on their open responses and taking their time to answer their multiple choice questions. Remember to get a good night sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and take it one day at a time. See you tomorrow!!

Personal Narrative Podcast
Check out some of the wonderful narratives written by our outstanding 5th grade writers at Centerfield. Students were focusing on using great word choice, writing in slow motion, showing not telling, and using voice. I think they did a fantastic job. You can go on, listen to your classmates narrative, comment, and even download to your mp3 player as a podcast if you like. Enjoy!
