1st Grade - Today's ponderer was Ulysses S. Grant. Mr. Grant did not want to be a soldier. His skills during the Civil War led to his becoming the 18th President of the United States. In Crystal Pond Woods, we learned to look for clues that would help us solve the mystery and to take time to reflect on those clues until we came up with the correct answer.
5th Grade - Solicitous, which means attentive and concerned, was today's vocabulary word. The Father of the Idaho potato, Luther Burbank, was today's ponderer. Students solved a Stories with Holes problem for the warm up activity. The affective lesson focused on self-discipline. One aspect of self-discipline is goal setting. Students will keep track of how well they are working toward that goal this week. We will celebrate their successes next week. The rest of the day was spent completing their Bridge Across America timeline.
