1st and 2nd Grade - The first and second graders were having special activities today in their classrooms. We will resume our regular schedule next week.
5th Grade - The word of the day was Aghast. Aghast means shocked; frightened; terrified; taken back and sounds like Ghost. The pilgrim of the day was John Muir. John Muir loved tinkering and designing, but he was also a practical, hardworking man. While working in a factory a piece of metal filing left him temporarily blind. When he regained his eyesight, he decided what he really wanted to do was explore nature. We can thank John Muir for founding our National Park system. Students then focused on their choices as part of their affective thinking lesson. The students also worked some more on their Deficient, Abundant, and Perfect Numbers and completed their Flotsam and Jetsam page from last week. The students were quickly introduced to the Exploravision Contest that we will begin working diligently on after Thanksgiving Break.
Enjoy the Thanksgiving Break! We will see you again bright and early Monday morning, November 29, 2010.
