5th Grade - Today this group celebrated National Eat Ice Cream for breakfast with their teacher as it was also her birthday. Their vocabulary word for today was Inception which means start or beginning. The explorers were Richard (Dick) Knerr and Arthur (Spuds) Melvin who invented the hula hoop and saved hundreds of jobs. The warm up activity was a Quizzles/logic elimination puzzle.Our exploration lesson focused on the generalization that the explorations of new frontiers may impact advancements in other fields of study. This led to a science experience regarding the earth's tectonic plates.
2nd Grade - These students learned that a Mineral is a substance such as quartz, coal, petroleum, salt, etc. that is naturally formed under the ground. Their explorer was Martin Van Buren who presented his first case as a lawyer at the age of 15. Students worked together to solve the Quizzles/logic elimination grid puzzle for the warm up activity.
