3rd Grade - This class learned that Extinction means a coming to an end or dying out. Their investigator, John F. Kennedy, tried to compete against his older brother and failed. But Mr. Kennedy succeeded when it was necessary. Students worked as a group to complete the Quotation Quizzler for the warm up activity. In Crystal Pond Woods students continued to develop their evaluative thinking skills. This week they developed criteria and used a problem solving matrix to decide what to do for 30 minutes in class. They chose to build rafts that would hold weight and float for one minute.
5th Grade - The vocabulary word was Trenchant which means incisive, forceful. Andre Garnerin, the investigator, came up with the idea of the parachute to escape from prison. The affective lesson provided students with an opportunity to reflect on what they have learned in this segment all year. After a quick assessment on structures, the students set par for their segment of the golf course. Then everyone was able to play the entire course. The course will be on display in our media center.
