The fifth graders spent some time looking at newspaper articles from October and November of 1938 during social studies. Students worked in groups to summarize the articles that described the panic and distress caused by the original War of the Worlds broadcast. This lesson will lead into a close examination of the first contact between Christopher Columbus and the native peoples.
The fifth graders also learned a new energizer activity during our morning meeting. This activity, called Silent Signs, saw the fifth graders using body movements to give one of their peers directions so that they could find a state or country on a map. This got the blood pumping and served as a nice movement activity to begin our day.
