Inventor Posters

 

 

 

If you don't see a photo of your child, then he/she is on my list of "No Internet" photos or pictured with a student on that list.
This is a private blog only open to people that I share it with, but I want to be respectful of parents' wishes.
Thank you for understanding.

Ohio Inventors

At the conclusion of Social Studies for the year, the students researched Ohio Inventors and their inventions.  They created life sized posters of the inventors and presented the information to the class.
Their posters included background information about the inventor, how he/she got the idea, as well as, the science behind the invention.  Positive and negative effects and changes to the invention over time were also on the posters.  Finally, the students identified a character trait that was necessary for the inventor to exhibit and supported this with information from their research.

The posters are very impressive!  The students worked hard, had fun, and learned cooperatively!

Pioneer Day

Our class recently spent a day at Livingston Lodge learning about pioneer life.  We participated in a variety of activities that were entertaining and educational.   

1.  We learned how wool is spun into yarn.

2.  We had help from Mr. Josche using an auger to drill a hole into a piece of wood to make a candle holder.

3.  We used pieces of tin and created a design using a hammer and nails.  This was for our candle holder.

 4.  We made corn husk dolls.

5.  We dipped our own candles for the candle holder.

6.  We churned our own butter to use at our meal.

7.  We learned how to play the Dulcimer.  This is a stringed instrument used by pioneers.

8.  We wove baskets.

Finally, we helped to prepare our wonderful lunch of beef stew, corn bread, and apple crisp.  Lentil soup was also served since everyone doesn't eat meat.
