4th Grade - The word of the day was Allude. Allude means to refer to casually or indirectly and sounds like Rude. The pilgrim of the day was Walt Disney. When others were telling him it wouldn't work, Walt Disney kept right on working. His project cost $1.5 during the Great Depression, but it was an overnight success. That little project was the first full length animated film called Snow White. This group did Plexers for the warm-up activity. Plexers are common phrases put into word pictures. The affective lesson had students focusing on eight issues (procrastination, perfectionism, isolation, risk-taking, motivation, potential, leadership, and stress). Students were to write a quote for each issue as if they were a politician. They were then to tell who were some humorous people that they admired. We then reviewed the density experiment we did last week. Students then had 30 minutes to build their cooperative creature that we will be sharing with other Edmond Enrichment program groups.
5th Grade - The word of the day was Zigzag. Zigzag means a series of turns in different directions that nevertheless proceed in a general direction and sounds like Tag. The pilgrims of the day were the Smith Brothers. One day a peddler walked into James Smith's restaurant and ordered a meal. When it came time to pay for the meal, he offered James Smith the recipe for a cough candy. James took the recipe and paid the man $5. James Smith made up the candy, put it into envelopes and had his two sons, William and Andrew, sell it door to door. The candy was a success. This group also did the Plexers for the warm-up activity. The affective lesson focused on childhood rules, sharing and telling the truth. We then finished considering water density. Students spent time gathering information for the ExploraVision project before heading back to their classes for a special holiday activity.
