4th Grade - There were two vocabulary words today. Celestial = of or pertaining to the sky or the heavens. Compensation = the "pay" one receives for an act. The investigator was Rachel Carson, who was an activist against pesticides. Our warm-up activity was an exercise in creativity and following directions called Surprise in the Middle. The affective thinking lesson focused on our strengths and weaknesses and what we can say to ourselves during situations to help get through that time. The rest of the afternoon was spent building the model cooperative creature and writing directions to send to the other schools.
