2nd Grade - Students spent the class period discovering common objects: paper bag, notebook paper and crayons.

4th Grade - After reviewing the vocabulary words we have learned this year, students watched a Magic School Bus video about structures. The assignment following the video was to build a bridge out of straws that was 6 inches tall, 12 inches long and would hold an encyclopedia for 60 seconds. Students then made bridges using K'Nex.

This will be my last post for this school year. Have a great summer. I will see my returning students again in September.

Final Enrichment Days Approaching

With the end of the school year quickly approaching, there are only a few more Enrichment classes left.  Since our theme this year has been “Honoring the Past ~ Challenging the Future,” the final class period will center on that theme with snacks and activities from our past.  Students will need to research a snack from the past. It may be a favorite family snack or treat. Since our school system is promoting healthy snacking, please encourage your student to look for snacks that include fruits, nuts, whole grains, etc.

Due to the many activities surrounding the Fifth Grade Farewell and Super Kids Day. The final day for Thursday classes will be Thursday, May 9 (this coming week). May 13th - 17th will be the final week of Enrichment classes for this school year.

For those students who will be moving as well as the 5^th graders, I wish you the very best and encourage you to continue searching for challenging curriculum in whatever school you transfer to.

For the 1^st through 4^th graders, I look forward to seeing you all again in September with a whole new set of exciting challenges.  We are planning something really WONDERful for next year.

2nd Grade - Today's vocabulary word was Lapse which is a temporary pause or interruption. Nancy Hart, a southern spy, was today's explorer. Students completed a Quizzles, logic elimination puzzle for the warm-up activity.

5th Grade - Their vocabulary word was Prototype which means an early or original example upon which later examples are based. The explorer was Alfred Nobel who not only set up the Nobel Prize, but was also the inventor of dynamite. Students completed a Quizzles, logic elimination puzzle for the warm-up activity. The philosophy question today was: If many people believe that something is true, is it true? An end of the year post test about structures was followed by a brief research project about space travel.

3rd Grade - Pernicious which means dangerous, deadly-was today's vocabulary word. The explorers were the Wright brothers. While these two men weren't good at book learning, they were skilled with their hands. That skill led to the invention of the airplane. The lesson from Crystal Pond Woods had students evaluating potato chips. In the Discoveries lesson, students discovered the difference between a paleontologist and an archaeologist. They also had the opportunity to dig in chocolate chip cookies for "dinosaur bones". The Relationships lesson focused on the causes of animal population decreases.

Thursday, May 2, 2013

4th Grade - Their vocabulary word was Qualm which means a feeling of illness; a disturbing feeling. Their explorer today was the Corps of Discovery headed by Meriweather Lewis, William Clark and Sacajawea. Students successfully completed the new Strimko puzzle for the warm up activity. The affective lesson focused on the importance of friends. Time/timelines were the discussion of the Explorations lesson. During the Systems lesson, students built a rheostat and an electronic quiz board.

5th Grade - The vocabulary word for today was Fetch which means to go after and bring back; to get as in a price. Today's explorer, Samuel Morse (the inventor of Morse Code), was really a famous artist who struggled financially. These students quickly solved the new Strimko puzzle. Our philosophy question centered around cause and effect. Students completed a brief research project on  Environmental Modification and considered how city population growth affected environmental change.
