3rd Grade - Prioritize was the vocabulary word for today which means to list or rate (as projects or goals) in order of priority. Our explorer today was Lucille Ball who had been told by a drama teacher that she had no talent. The affective lesson focused on task commitment and the various types of motivators. In Crystal Pond Woods, students were given several logic elimination puzzles to solve. The final activity was to hear about the book Abel's Island. We learned a little bit about hurricanes because that is how Abel ended up on a deserted island.
5th Grade - The vocabulary word for the day was Pejorative which means disparaging or negative comments. Levi Strauss was the investigator for today. He had moved to California during the gold rush to sell material. When he couldn't sell his canvas, he sewed it up into some pants inventing blue jeans. The warm up activity was a brainstorming session from Odyssey of the Mind. Students were to create a rhyme of an animal. The affective lesson focused on dependability. Students heard closing arguments from fellow jurors today in the case of Marco Polo vs. the City/State of Venice. Finally, students spent some time researching insulators.
2nd Grade - Students wrote stories about themselves called "Fingerprints of Greatness.)
