1st and 2nd grade - Our vocabulary word for the day was Excessive. Something that is excessive goes beyond the usual limit. Sybil Luddington was our pilgrim for the day. During the Revolutionary War, Sybil rode through the dark of night to gather the militia. Our trip to Crystal Pond Woods was led by Yolanda the Yarnspinner. Yolanda encouraged students to use colorful, descriptive words to write a story about a beautiful autumn day. The students had just started writing their stories when it was time to go back to their regular classes. We will pick up there tomorrow.
5th grade - Our vocabulary ward for the day was Succor. Succor means help; relief; assistance and sounds like soccer. The inventor of the day was George Washington Carver. During a fifty year span, George Washington Carver found over 300 uses for the peanut. Tolerance and empathy were the focus of our affective thinking study of the day. We learned that explorers may transfer parts of their culture to other cultures. Through the use of 20 questions, students learned that a lot of the items we have in the United States today came from other cultures. Likewise, other countries have picked up parts of our culture. For example, other cultures have adopted our democratic form of government. The SOS project helped us learn about ocean currents. We were able to open the bottle today from our missing family and read the note.
