2nd Grade - Our learning began with the word Accumulation which means to gather or collect. The investigator, John Quincy Adams, was caught swimming in the Potomac River without his clothes. Students were able to solve the Mystery Object that we started several weeks ago for the warm up activity.
3rd Grade - Our vocabulary continues to center around the government. Today's word was Preamble which means an introductory statement; preface; introduction. The investigator was Whoopi Goldberg who was a make up artist at a funeral home before she got her big break in Hollywood. Students quickly solved the Stories with Holes problem for the warm up activity. Students were introduced to Divergent thinking today in Crystal Pond Woods. In particular they focused on brainstorming and trying to come up with as many ideas as possible. The final activity was to learn some more about their individual Polynesian Islands.
4th Grade - This group learned that Predilection means a preference for something. Their investigator was Walt Disney who developed the first full length animated film in 1937-Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. This group also solved the Stories with Holes problem for the warm up activity. The focus of the affective lesson today was using humor and knowledge to make symbolic perspectives. The final activity was for each team to build a "robot."
