4th Grade - The word of the day was Petulant. Petulant means ill humor; irritable, cranky and sounds like Pet Lent. The pilgrim of the day was Benjamin Franklin. Benjamin Franklin led a busy life. He published Poor Richard's Almanac, founded the first public library, the first postal system, the first volunteer fire company, the first hospital, the first college in Philadelphia (the University of Pennsylvania) and turned the citizens' "Night Watch" into the first Philadelphia police department. He also invented the lightning rod, the Franklin stove and discovered electricity in lightning. Mr. Franklin is also the only person to have signed four of the most important documents of our country's history. These students also played 20 questions and were successful in determining the item in less than 20 questions. The affective lesson had us discovering the difference between self-esteem and self-image. Students then developed a biography for the alien/robots they built last week. We then critiqued the directions sent to us from the other schools.
5th Grade - The word for the day was Wail. Wail means to cry out loudly and sounds like tail. Since these students were eager to celebrate their AR success with the rest of the 5th grade, we spent the rest of the morning finishing essays for the ExploraVision project. The deadline for the project is Wednesday, February 2.
