1st and 2nd Grade - The word of the day was Coherent. Someone who is coherent is clear and easy to understand. Our investigator for this week was Rutherford B. Hayes. His presidency is most noted for moving the annual Easter Egg Roll, which Congress wanted to cancel, to the White House lawn the Monday after Easter. He was also the 19th President. The weekly puzzle was a Mystery Object. Students are given an unusual object that they have to determine it's name before reaching 20 questions. Tomorrow we are going to "bug" each other in a friendly way.
5th Grade - Botanical was their word of the week. Botanical means of or pertaining to plants or plant life. Our investigator was Earle Dickson, the inventor of the Band aid. The puzzle of the week was a "Mind Wink." Students are given a common word or phrase written in picture form. They have to decipher the word or phrase. The affective lesson focused on Honesty. Our study of the Lewis and Clark Expedition had us learning about Latitude, Longitude and finding locations on a map. The Bridge Across America project had students shopping for items to take with them on the Oregon Trail.
