1st Grade - These students learned that Nellie Cashman saved the lives of men at mining camps by providing them with shelter, meals, and nursing them when they were sick. Students worked together to solve the 20 Questions/Mystery Object for the warm up activity. We started learning about Inventor Thinking with Isabel the Inventor. Today, students brainstormed what to do with a whisk, what they could make from circles, and how to make a bicycle for a spider.
3rd Grade - Today's vocabulary word was variance which mean an amount of difference or change. The successful person was Winston Churchill who was not a good student, but became a great leader and winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature. These students also worked together to solve the 20 Questions/Mystery Object for the warm up activity. In Crystal Pond Woods, students continued their study of Evaluative Thinking. Students were given three different game boards which they played with a partner. After playing the games, students had to evaluate which game board was the best. For the Discoveries lesson, students learned about Pompeii. Students then began to create their own civilization. Next week they will build some artifacts. The following week they will simulate archaeologists and try to infer from the artifacts they find about another team's civilization.
