Algebraic Thinking:
We worked on Hands On Equations Lesson 8. The kids are ready to try some word problems next time!
Unit Study:
We learned about Clean Water and Sanitation today. The kids collaborated in Jigsaw Learning to share their new knowledge about our topic with others who read different sections of the article. It went really well! They did a great job!
Novel Study:
We read a few more chapters of our book, Front Desk. It was interesting to find out that Mia could play the piano!
Stations:
We had a blast playing games to challenge our convergent and divergent thinking skills! There's so many ways to encourage and expand these skills!
Affective:
We had a ton of fun figuring out whether popular characters show a Fixed or Growth Mindset. The kids did a wonderful job discussing how this helps or hurts characters.
We continued our Mindfulness Practice with "2 Minute Mindfulness". The kids enjoy these quiet moments to focus.
Have a fantastic Fall Break!
