1st and 2nd Grade - These students took an inventory of what they learned about Discoveries this year. We then talked about the multiple intelligence inventory we took last week. Each student made a paper hat and decorated it with symbols that represented their style of learning. We began looking at different jobs we may want as a result of that inventory, but we will have to finish that next week.
3rd Grade - The word of the day was Vociferous. Vociferous means loud and vehement. Winston Churchill was the pilgrim of the day. While he was not a good student in school, Mr. Churchill became a gifted Prime Minister leading Great Britain through World War II. The warm up activity today for this group was a make up activity from last week. These students did the Surprise in the Middle activity which is a following directions/creativity lesson. Students are to follow specific written directions that are not repeated in order to come up with the desired picture. These students also took an inventory of what they learned about Discoveries this year. We took another trip to Crystal Pond Woods with Max the Magician. He had us playing a game that is kind of like checkers where students had to plan careful strategic moves in order to win the activity. The final activity was to look at some artifacts from Pompeii. Students were then to look at the articles and write a story about the family that owned those items similar to an archaeologist.
4th Grade - The word of the day was Harsh. Harsh means unpleasant to the senses; unpleasant conditions and sounds like Marsh. Abraham Lincoln was the pilgrim of the day. One little known fact about Abraham Lincoln was that he didn't have a beard until the 1860 campaign. A little girl wrote him a letter suggestion he grow a beard and he had one until he died. The activity of the day was a Plexer puzzle. Plexer puzzles are common words or phrases put into picture form that students have to decipher. These students had several post assessments to finish that determined what they learned this year in Enrichment. The final activity was to present the evidence they found and the other team voted if they would send a rescue team to get the family.
