4th Grade - Today's learning began with a new vocabulary word. Candid means someone who is honest and sincere. Our explorer, Milton Hershey, failed many times until he found the right recipe for caramels. Mrs. Rains shared a Hershey's kiss with everyone in honor of our special explorer. For the warm up activity, each student participated in drawing a small part of everyone's picture of a house. The affective lesson focused on creativity by having students develop a creative way to teach area and perimeter. Time was spent finishing our research projects about the ocean. The final activity was to take a pretest for our ocean simulation project.
5th Grade - This afternoon students learned that Spurious means false, counterfeit. Today's explorer, Elijah McCoy, invented a lubricating system that could oil machines while they were moving. It was named "The Real McCoy". Each student participated in drawing a small part of everyone's picture of a house for the warm up activity. The affective lesson had students thinking about things that were most important to them. Our space exploration lesson had students learning about towers and bases then using what they learned to construct their own tower. The final activity was the beginning of the SOS simulation. Students were given a found bottle and had to locate where the bottle had been picked up.
