5th Grade - Today's learning began with Oscitant which means inattentive. The successful person was John Walker who invented the first friction match while trying to develop a safer explosive. Students worked together to solve a DropQuote puzzle for the warm up activity. The leadership lesson had students building with playing cards. The caveat was that students could not verbally communicate with each other. For the exploration lesson, students were building items for a space simulation that involves LEGO. Eventually students will program robots to do activities similar to the NASA space program.
2nd Grade - These students learned that an Artifact is a simple object (such as a tool or weapon) that was made by people in the past. Elizabeth Van Lew (today's successful person) acted crazy, but was really the head of a Union spy ring. Students worked together to solve the Quotation Quizzler for the warm up activity The focus of the affective lesson was identifying and dealing with anger. In Crystal Pond Woods we continued developing our visual thinking as students played the Dot game. For the Discoveries lesson, students discovered the power of ice especially glaciers.
