2nd Grade - Today's vocabulary word was Indignation which means anger, especially over something that's unfair. The explorer today was Andrew Jackson. He earned the nickname "Old Hickory" because it was hard to destroy an old hickory tree. Our warm up activity today was a creativity/following directions drawing of finger people called "Loosen Up".
4th Grade - Their vocabulary word was Petulant which means ill humor, irritable, cranky. The explorer was Benjamin Franklin who only had two years of formal schooling but was instrumental in developing and signing four important documents in our country's history. They completed the Loosen Up drawing for their warm-up activity. The affective lesson had students understanding that being gifted means different things to different people. The rest of the class time was spent completing their ocean research projects.
5th Grade - Their vocabulary word was Agility which means to move quickly and easily; nimbleness of body or mind. Benjamin Franklin was their explorer. Mr. Franklin only had two years of formal school, but went on to teach himself by reading everything he could get his hands on. These students also completed the "Loosen Up" drawing for the warm-up activity. The affective lesson focused on getting students to define their beliefs now while it is easy to defend them. The afternoon was spent working toward the conclusion of the Exploravision project.
