The Enrichment students from Mrs. Roan and Mrs. Robison's classes met this morning. Our word of the day was Hypnotize. Hypnotize means to put into a sleep-like state. Hypnotize sounds like Hippo Eyes. Our Journeying pilgrim for today was two people: Orville and Wilbur Wright. Orville and Wilbur Wright both dropped out of high school, but were life long learners continually reading anything they could get their hands on. Their invention was the first airplane to be flown by a man. They then got their bottles for the SOS project. Using reference materials in the room, they had to determine the city and country that matched the latitude and longitude found on the bottle. Since this is going to be a short week, we took a break from our Exploration lessons and decided to find out what happened to Amelia Earhart. We had just started following her flight path when it was time to go. Maybe we can finish it up before Thanksgiving Break.
