1st Grade - Today was the first time this class has met. First, we learned that a Pattern is a noun and something that repeats in a predictable way. The future thinker was Hans Christian Andersen who had difficulty at school, but became a famous storyteller. Since this was our first class meeting, we developed a class pledge/code of conduct to follow while attending GATE. Students were then introduced to Crystal Pond Woods and Dudley the Detective. We will do more with that on Friday.
2nd Grade - This group learned that Insulation means to cover, line, or separate with a material that prevents or reduces the leakage of heat. Theodore "Teddy" did not lead a charge up San Juan Hill. The affective lesson focused on the understanding that we experience a range of emotions every day. In Crystal Pond Woods, students were given two words and some items and had to invent the new item that was a result of the two words. For the Flight lesson, students observed a balloon blowing up as a result of baking soda and vinegar. We then discussed the properties of flight necessary to lift the balloon.
