4th Grade - The word for these students was Infallible which means someone who never makes a mistake. Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman doctor in the United States, was today's explorer. Students solved several Plexer puzzles for the warm up activity. Over the next several weeks, the fourth graders will be looking at issues successful people deal with on a daily basis and how they can impact students. Before we start the lessons, students took a pre-assessment to determine where they are with each issue. They also created a house plan to help them visualize the impact of each area. In the case of Marco Polo, students have left their positions as jurors and today became newspaper editors. They had to design a headline regarding the outcome of the case. The final activity was to spend time researching windmills then planning a new and improved design.
2nd Grade - The affective lesson today focused on the idea that successful people set goals.
