3rd Grade - The word for today was Diaphanous which means translucent, transparent. Today's investigator was Tom Cruise, a struggling reader who has become a famous movie star. The warm-up activity was from the back of an old National Geographic for kids magazine. Students were given nine very close up photos of items along with a clue from which they were to determine the object. Our friends in Crystal Pond Woods focused once again on Divergent Thinking. This time students were given simple drawings and were to make up a caption for the drawings. More time was spent researching a Polynesian island. Our final activity was observation of various types of lids.
