1st and 2nd Grade - The word of the day was Indignation. Indignation means anger, especially over something that's unfair. Our pilgrim of the day was Andrew Jackson. Andrew Jackson earned the nickname "Old Hickory" when he was shot with a bullet that didn't kill him. Since the bullet was so close to his heart, doctors didn't want to remove it. He lived the rest of his life with a bullet in his chest. The puzzle of the day was a Quizzler. Students can find more puzzles similar to the one we did in class at: http://www.puzzlersparadise.com/page1042.html. Students then listened to a book that former First Lady Rosalynn Carter helped develop entitled "Kids' Random Acts of Kindness." The students started making posters of acts of kindness that we will finish tomorrow.
5th Grade - The word of the day was Whimsical. Whimsical means erratic in behavior; unpredictable; having a quaint or fanciful quality and sounds like Swim Popsicle. Their pilgrim of the day was Thomas Alva Edison. One day while he was gluing paper together in his laboratory, Thomas Edison spread some glue on a piece of paper and let it dry. Later he added a few drops of water to see if it would stick. It did and we now have envelopes that we can lick and seal shut. These students also did the Quizzler puzzle for a warm-up activity. Students then pondered what was right or wrong in different situations. They completed a quick test as a review of the SOS project. The final activity was to write up an essay of the information they collected regarding the history and present technology of their invention.
