1st and 2nd Grade - Today's vocabulary word was a repeat from last week: Dexterous. Someone who is dexterous is nimble and flexible. There were two investigators today: Chester A. Arthur the 21st president and Calvin Coolidge the 30th president of the United States. Our puzzle for today came from the back of an old National Geographic for kids magazine. Students were given nine very close up photos of objects along with a short clue and were to identify the item. Our trip to Crystal Pond Woods introduced us to Isabel the Inventor who is a Divergent Thinker. Students brainstormed what to do with bubbles on a paper.
5th Grade - Cartographer was the 5th grade word of the week. A cartographer is someone who makes maps or charts. The investigator was George Washington Carver, who invented over 300 uses for the peanut. A Quotation Quizzler was the warm-up activity. Our affective lesson focused on Tolerance and Empathy. We began a new study in structures: Expansion of Technology. With this study, students will be participating in the Exploravision competition put on by Toshiba. The remainder of afternoon was spent working on projects for the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
