3rd Grade - These students learned that Prehistoric means of, relating to, or existing in the time before people could write. Our explorer, Alexander Graham Bell is most remembered for inventing the telephone, but he also invented the comic book. Students worked together to solve a quotation quizzler for the warm up activity. The affective lesson focused on the generalization that there are many types of gifts. In Crystal Pond Woods, students finished the visual analogies they started last week. The discovery lesson explored the word Serendipity which is a discovery by accident. We had a few minutes left in class to get a preview of glaciers - our next discovery.
5th Grade - Students from the Monday class joined us today. We began our learning with the vocabulary word Sojourn which means a short sty, brief residence. The explorer was Guglielmo Marconi who studied physics so much that he failed his college entrance exams. He continued to learn on his own and invented the radio. Our affective lesson focused on making promises to ourselves now so that when we are faced with a "sticky" situation we will be prepared. After a quick review of continental drift and plate tectonics, our lessons moved to the ocean floor where we started research projects around the Mid Atlantic continental ridge.
2nd Grade - We completed our reader's theater about dinosaurs then started researching dinosaur hunters.
