3rd Grade - Today's word was Rapacious which means raptor-like, preying on others. George Gershwin, who composed Rhapsody in Blue, was today's investigator. This group's warm up activity was a Stories with Holes problem which the students were able to solve. The trip to Crystal Pond Woods had students practicing Divergent thinking or brainstorming by using a web. We observed the results of our experiment with steel wool, water and oil. Today's science lesson focused on Hypothesis. We predicted what would happen to a penny rubbed with salsa.
5th Grade - Depression, the condition of being sad or dejected was today's word. Thomas Alva Edison, who invented gummed paper, was today's explorer. The warm-up activity was a Stories with Holes situation which the students were unable to solve. Students wrote their final essays for the Exploravision project. The final activity was watching more of the Lewis and Clark Expedition video by PBS.
