Affective Skills:
The kids did a marvelous job creating wonderful things with their "Perfect Squares". Love their imaginations!
Algebraic Thinking:
We jumped back into our Word Problems by solving them with our Hands On Equations concepts. The kids did a great job, once they reviewed their word problem notes.
Unit Study:
The kids watched "Caine's Arcade 2" to see what happened after Caine built his arcade. They were thrilled with the amazing outcomes from one boy's imagination and creativity!
The kids had a blast beginning to build their cardboard games! They did a thorough job sketching designs and making lists of needed materials. So far, we have some fun game ideas! Please remember to send in any other needed materials for class next week.
Stations:
We used our convergent thinking to transform jellyfish. Check out their incredible ideas below! The kids also played a variety of convergent thinking games: Qwirkle, Chess, and Jumanji.
Novel Study:
We learned about the Nobel Prize, unique jellyfish, and SanFranciso. After that, we read a couple more chapters in our book. The kids found out that Ellie's grandpa is now a 13 old boy because of a crazy jellyfish!
Until next time,
Dr. Kraeger
