These will be things we discuss in detail throughout the year. Students have been sequestered as jurors in the case of Marco Polo vs. the State of Venice. Mr. Polo has been charged with fraud. Another case we are working on is the power of one germ. Students have learned that several students in a midwestern town have become ill. Their assignment for the next several days is to look up what illnesses have those symptoms.
5th grade - Today began by having students copy the vocabulary word (Quid Pro Quo - a Latin phrase meaning an equal exchange) while listening to a short story. Nicholas Cugnot, the first recorded attempt at inventing a horseless carriage was today's explorer. Students discovered the answers to visual puzzles for the warm up activity. The affective segment introduced students to understand what's important to them and explore qualities that most people hold dear. These will be things we discuss in detail throughout the year.

Another case we are working on is the power of one germ. Students have learned that several students in a midwestern town have become ill. Their assignment for the next several days is to look up what illnesses have those symptoms.
