2nd Grade - We continued learning about the characteristics of successful people. One characteristic is a demonstration of bravery. Students were taught how to put their "best foot forward" when meeting adults.
4th Grade - Their vocabulary word was Allude which means to refer to casually or indirectly. Walt Disney was the Explorer because he thought "It's kind of fun to do the impossible." They completed a Quotation Quizzler for their warm-up activity. The affective lesson focused on personal security systems. Students made repairs to their creatures and completed their directions. The directions were sent off to Russell Dougherty's fourth grade enrichment program. Next week, we will be building a creature from the directions they send to us.
5th Grade - Today's vocabulary word was Avert which means to ward off; to turn away; to keep from happening. Our explorer was Ada Lovelace, who dreamed of machines that would compose and play music and draw pictures as well as calculate answers. She wrote the first computer program in 1843. These students also completed the Quotation Quizzler. The affective lesson focused on the many different hats people wear and the characteristics of those roles. The rest of the afternoon was spent developing our projects for the Exploravision Contest.
