1st and 2nd Grade - The word of the day was Predilection. Predilection means a preference for something. The pilgrim of the day was Emily Geiger. Emily was the daughter of a farmer during the Revolutionary War. General Greene led the army in the south and was camped on the Greene farm. General Greene needed to get a message to General Sumter who was in the north. Emily volunteered to carry the note under the guise of visiting relatives. When she was stopped by the Brittish to be searched, she read and swallowed the note as the soldier was looking for a woman to search Emily. The next day, she quoted the note to General Sumter. The warm-up activity of the day was called "Surprise in the Middle." This is an exercise in creativity as well as following directions. Students are told that the directions are only given once and they can't erase. If they are paying attention to the directions, they will get the desired results. If they don't follow the directions, they are given a few minutes to turn their drawing into the desired result through creativity. The affective lesson started out with a story called "Don't Laugh at Me." The students were then to draw a picture of themselves with a heading on the paper called, "It's okay..."
5th Grade - Due to a meeting I had to attend, this class was canceled for the day. We will resume our regular schedule next week.
