4th Grade - Welcome Back! Hopefully you had a great time off.
Today the word was Inhabit. Inhabit means to live or dwell in and sounds like Rabbit. The pilgrim of the day was Rachel Carson. Rachel was a writer and environmentalist. She is responsible for having the pesticide DDT removed from the environment. Our affective study centered around levels of negative tolerance and their effects on behavior. It is hoped that students will become more tolerant of things that bother them. Our Exploration lesson centered around cultural borrowing. Students had an item borrowed from another country taped on their backs. Through asking a series of yes or no questions, they hoped to determine the item that we borrowed from another culture. Not only did students learn that food and games can be transferred to other cultures, forms of government can be transferred from one culture to another. Our SOS project began studying ocean currents - how they are created and move.
