3rd Grade - Today was our first day back to school after the Winter Break. We began our learning with the vocabulary word Welfare which means the good fortune, health, happiness, prosperity of a person, group, or organization; well-being. Their future thinker was Calamity Jane (Martha Jane Canary) who really should have been nicknamed "Lucky." For the warm up activity, students mathed airport terms with their definitions. In Crystal Pond Woods we continued learning about divergent thinking. Today we created chain reaction contraptions that would do a simple task such as cracking open acorns. In a few weeks we hope to actually build a Rube Goldberg chain reaction contraption. Our final activity was to build the balloon floats for our own "Macy's Thanksgiving Day" parade.
