The one that inproved was the math the one that gone down was reading not by much but they could have done better.Well because math you usaully use in your everyday life plus anybody can learn it reading is harder because you spend more time on math then reading.Native Americans celebrated their first Thanksgiving by hunting for deer,playing games and dancing.They dressed in bright colors.You can learn because you can read learn how it was like how they dressed their type of food and how they got their food.

1.The score that gone up was the math scores.The score that went only by a little though, was the reading scores.

2. Reading is tougher to learn in class than math is because reading depends on how much you read outside of the classroom and at home while math is largely learned in classrooms.

3. They played games and danced with each other and hunted dear and ate food together.

4.They dressed in bright and cheerful colors. Native Americans wearing woven blankets on their shoulders and large, feathered headdresses.

5. We can learn because you can know about history and there type of dresses and food and celebrations and how they got their food.

1.The 4th grade math scores went up by 1 point from 2009 and 28 points since 1990. The 8th grade math scores went up by 1 point since 2009 and 21 points since
1990.

2. Reading is tougher because the results for reading depend on how much kids read outside of school and how much they read in other subjects, such as history and science.

3.The English and the Native Americans celebrated by playing ball games, singing,and danced.
