Davidson’s Learning Center Series: 4th Grade Hello! We’re the Learning Voyage crew. Welcome to our DiscoverCraft. We floated just fine until bunches of Bobbily birds laid their eggs in our engine room. The “egg-stra” weight caused our craft to sink into the Swamps of Slimoozia! You can help “egg-stract” us from the swamp by practicing your reading and math skills in our “eggs- hibits.” Each time you master a skill, you‘ll earn a token to go to the engine room and play a game to hatch those eggs. The Bobbily birds will then fly away, and the DiscoverCraft will lift off again! 1 Signing In • If you’ve never played before, click Add Name, type your name in the sign-in box, and click OK. • If you have signed in previously, select your name from the list of players and click OK.
