Welcome Back to school! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Break.
4th Grade - The word of the day was Encroach. Encroach means to intrude gradually upon the rights of another; to trespass and sounds like Roach. The pilgrim of the day was George Washington. The people of the United States, after winning the Revolutionary War, wanted to make George Washington king. George Washington told the people that they had just gained their independence from one king, they didn't need another. The people then made him the first president under the Constitution. Our warm-up activity today was called "Surprise in the Middle." This was an exercise in following directions and creativity. The students were given a series of directions and were to follow the directions as they drew a picture. Thinking about time was the focus of our affective lesson. Students were to work backwards from a project they had completed successfully to find out what made that project work. Once they knew how that project worked, they could set goals for their next project. There were a few items to finish up from our last class for the SOS project on ocean currents. As an introduction to our Creature Project that we will be doing with three other elementary schools in Edmond, the students had one person in their group get directions from another student to build a poster. The "runner" then came back to the group and the group put the picture together.
