Happy Valentines Day and Welcome back to school, again! Beautiful weather is expected this week, which means we should be in school everyday and have outdoor recess. It's going to be a great week.
4th Grade - The word of the day was Passive. Passive means inactive; acted upon but not acting in return and sounds like Massive. I'll share the pilgrim of the day in a little bit. The warm-up activity was called, "Loosen UP." Students were to open up the hand they don't write with and lay it on a sheet of paper. They were to then draw just the v's between their fingers, so they ended up with 3 v's on their paper. The students were to then change the v's into flowers that were in a pretty vase on a pretty table. Since we have only been in school on Monday or Tuesday the last 2 weeks, this class is way ahead of the other 4th grade groups, so today we focused on an ancient mystery called, "The Secret of the Iceman's Death." In 1991, two hikers in the Alps discovered a body frozen in the ice. The authorities were called in and removed the body. Scientists were called in to examine the body and determined that the man was in his 40's and had lived over 5000 years ago. He was given the name Otzi because he was found in the Otztal mountains. The question was, "How did he die?'Students were to look at the evidence and come up with a scenario as to how they thought he died. Interestingly, the students thought of other theories that were not presented by the scientists.
