4th Grade - Steppes, a vast semiarid grass-covered plain, usually lightly wooded-was the vocabulary word of the day. Thomas Jefferson, not only the 3rd President of the United States, but also an avid learner was today's inventor. Students completed a balloon drawing from Loosen Up as the warm-up activity. Our philosophy question came from Marcus Arelius, "Should you let little things bother you?" The rest of the class period was spent researching inventions and inventors then completing a newspaper article about them.
