2nd Grade - Our vocabulary word was Meteorology which means the study of the atmospheric conditions and weather of an area. The investigator, Molly Pitcher (Mary Hays McCauly), provided water to soldiers during the Revolutionary War and worked a cannon. Everyone worked together to solve the Quotation Quizzler for the warm up activity.
3rd Grade - Today's vocabulary word, Cannibals, are people who eat human flesh. Lucille Ball, today's investigator, was told by her instructors at John Murray Anderson Drama School that she had no talent. Through hard work and determination, she was able to prove her teachers wrong. Students completed the Quotation Quizzler puzzle together for the warm up activity. As we continue studying the five characteristics of successful people, students had the opportunity to exhibit their creativity by changing a black circle and a white piece of construction paper into a creation of their choice. In our Relationship study, students learned that fear can be a powerful emotion. We conducted an experiment about hurricanes since it was Mafatu's phobia of the sea as the result of a hurricane that kept him afraid.
4th Grade - Benign, today's vocabulary word, means something that is harmless. The investigator, Mary McLeod Bethune, became a national spokesperson for the rights of African Americans prior to major Civil Rights movement of the 1960s. The warm up activity was to complete a Quotation Quizzler together. Family traits was the focus of the affective lesson. We started studying electricity in our Systems lessons.
