4th Grade - Today's vocabulary word was Confound which means to confuse or mix up. Bill Cosby was the Ponderer. Not only is he a famous comedian, he has also written several books, donates to charities and produces programs for children (ex. Fat Albert). The warm up activity was a creative activity. Students drew their initials on a sheet of paper then disguised them among other shapes and lines. We worked together to develop a class code of conduct to follow. Pretests were taken over the topics we will be wondering about this year. Since our theme of "Wisdom begins in wonder" is a Socrates quote, we discovered a little bit about this philosopher.
