4th Grade - The vocabulary word for today was Exploit which means a daring or heroic act. There were two explorers for today, Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan. Due to an illness at a young age, Helen Keller was deaf, blind, and unable to communicate until Anne Sullivan started working with her. Students worked together to solve the Plexer puzzles for the warm up activity. The affective lesson focused on kindness and how to treat other people with respect. After watching a brief video about the circulatory system, students finished creating a menu that would meet their nutritional needs. The final activity was further exploration of ocean currents.
