3rd Grade - Our learning today began with a new vocabulary word. Conclude means to stop or finish: to come to an end: to end in a particular way or with a particular action. Today's explorer, Tom Cruise, was a struggling reader as a child. Students completed drawings for Loosen Up which was the warm up activity for the day. The affective lesson reviewed all five characteristics of successful people. Students then thought about different famous people and wrote about how that particular person became so successful. In Crystal Pond Woods, students developed their own logic elimination puzzles that they shared with the other students. The discoveries lesson focused on what went wrong with Abel trying to get off the island he was stranded on due to the hurricane. Students then had to build their own watercraft from materials they were given that would hold the weight of a mouse and float on water.
5th Grade - Today, students learned that Sequester means to remove and hold in isolation. George Washington Carver, who developed more than 300 uses for the peanut, was today's explorer.. Students drew pictures for Loosen Up the warm up activity. Tolerance and empathy were the focus of today's affective lesson. Students learned that cultural borrowing means the transferring parts of one culture to another. We are still working to solve the situation with our fictitious village and E.coli.
