The Think Tank- Explorers

We have finished and shared our second think tank about explorers. I was very pleased to see that almost the whole class participated in this one and at least attempted to do some of the activities.


Nathan, Josie, Mikayla, and Jack L did a great job with this activity. Mikayla named her island "Love Island" and Josie named hers " Yummy Fruit Island."

Trey did a fabulous job with this activity. He told us that Squanto taught Pilgrims how to push eels out of the water with their bare feet.


Kinsey came up with 10 great questions to ask a famous explorer. Some of her questions were: Is it fun to be an explorer? Have you ever met anyone that had been stranded on an island?


None of the students selected this activity. Encourage them to try this one at home!

These students all created a secret code that needed to be decoded.

All of the students in this group solved the jumbled up words on the think tank board.
All of these students participated in decoding the secret message that I had written.
