5th Grade - Today's vocabulary word was Soporific which means sleep inducing. Thomas Alva Edison, our successful person, invented gummed paper along with improving the electric light bulb. For the warm up activity, students brainstormed several different items. The leadership lesson focused on leaving a good first impression. Students spent the rest of our time together working on their history essays for the Exploravision project.
2nd Grade - This class learned that Inflation is a continual increase in the price of goods and services. Sacagawea (the successful person) was in interpreter for the Lewis and Clark Expedition, but could not speak English. We worked together to solve the Quotation Quizzler for the warm up activity. The affective lesson focused on the understanding that successful people care for others. In Crystal Pond Woods, students were given an item and were asked to SCAMPER it into a new item. For the Discoveries lesson we compared civilized Abel to the primitive Abel he became after spending a year on a deserted island.
