2nd Grade - They learned that a Variable is something that may or does vary or change. There were four investigators today; Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, and James Buchanan. Zachary Taylor was a very religious man who refused to be sworn in as President of the United States until Monday. The President Pro Tem of the Senate became the "president" for 24 hours moving all Presidents technically down one number.
3rd Grade - Today's vocabulary word was Endangered which means threatened with extinction. The investigators, Orville and Wilbur Wright, never went to high school but worked well enough with their hands to create the first airplane. Students had to identify the nine What in the World objects for the warm up puzzle. In Crystal Pond Woods, students began evaluative thinking by learning the necessity of developing good criteria to help find the answer to a problem. We then read the book "A Weed Is a Flower" by Aliki and discussed the life of George Washington Carver.
4th Grade - This group learned that Instill means to put a feeling or idea into someone's mind slowly. The investigators for this class were Helen Keller and Anne Sullivan. As a result of Anne Sullivan's patience and instruction, Helen Keller learned to communicate. Helen Keller traveled around the world speaking and enlightening people's minds to the potential of handicapped people. These students also had to solve the What In the World puzzles for the warm up activity. During the afternoon students learned about the transportation system, forms of energy, friction, budgeting, construction, teamwork and designing a successful self-propelled vehicle which was tested at the end of the day.
