2nd Grade - Today's vocabulary word was Elegant which means characterized or exhibiting elegance; excellent. The ponderer was Lydia Darragh who was a spy for George Washington during the Revolutionary War. Students solved a Stories with Holes problem for the warm-up activity.Most of our friends were on a field trip this morning so students learned that there were different types of bridges and built a couple with K'Nex.
3rd Grade - The vocabulary word for this group was Craven which means cowardly. Their ponderer was Jim Carrey, who was not craven and has become a famous actor/comedian. These students also solved the Stories with Holes problem that was the warm up-activity. The affective lesson focused on courage, the opposite of craven. Students demonstrated courage by giving a one minute spontaneous speech. In Crystal Pond Woods, students played a game called Aces, Jumble and Zilch to continue developing their Convergent Thinking skills. This is a paper/pencil version of the game Master Mind.
