1st and 2nd Grade - The word of the day was Precision. Precision means exactness or accuracy. Andrew Johnson, our 17th president, was the pilgrim of the day It wasn't until he married a school teacher that Andrew Johnson learned to read, write or do sums. The warm up puzzle was a Quotation Quizzler. For more puzzles to do at home, go to http://www.quotepuzzles.com/index.jsp. Our affective lesson had us listening to the story Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days! by Stephen Manes. Since it is a lengthy book, we will have to wait until tomorrow to see if Milo becomes a perfect person.
5th Grade - Class today was abbreviated due to testing, but here is what we were able to accomplish. The word of the day was Fetch. Fetch means to go after and bring back; to get as in a price and sounds like Stretch. The pilgrim of the day was Samuel Morse. While most of us remember him as the man who invented Morse Code, Samuel Morse was also a well known painter. When he had difficulty selling his art work, he invented the Morse Code and the single wire telegraph. The warm up puzzle was a Quotation Quizzler.

The rest of our time was spent developing a presentation to convince the G.E.T.U. that our family is where they are in order to be rescued. Students also received a gift for participating in the ExploraVision project.
