1st Grade - This class learned that Theodore did not lead the Cavalry up San Juan Hill. Instead it was Kettle Hill. When presented with nine close up items that needed to be identified, the class worked together and solved the puzzle. Students continued learning about scientific thinking as they used analytical thinking to compare and contrast two different items.
5th Grade - Rebarbative which means ugly, repellent was today's vocabulary word. Today's explorer was Dr. John Gorrie who invented the refrigerator to be used for yellow fever patients. Students worked together to try to solve a Quotation Quizzler for the warm up activity. The affective lesson focused on the question, "I wonder..." what it means to define something? Our Exploration study had students researching famous explorers and selecting what artifacts they would like to complete to demonstrate their learning.
4th Grade - These students learned that Precision means exactness or accuracy. The explorer, Yo-Yo Ma is a famous cellist who wants to share classical music with all ages of people. Students worked together to complete the Quotation Quizzler puzzle for the warm up activity. For the affective lesson, students used the learning styles inventory from last week to help them find their career choice. We then looked at life styles and compared that to how much money their career would make. For the exploration lesson, students learned that kites may be used in the future for wind energy.
2nd Grade - We continued practicing evaluative thinking in combination with visual thinking by choosing which shape best fit a particular title and describing why the shape fit.
