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.
