Convergent Thinking:
The kids took off on their logic puzzles today! Most jumped right in and got it done! A few had to make some revisions, but all ended up with correct solutions.
Algebraic Thinking:
Hands-On-Equations were a bit slow getting started, but we picked up steam. The kids are finishing up Level 1, but need a bit of review before moving on to Level 2. We'll practice the skills in Lesson 5-7 a couple more weeks before trying our Level 1 Assessment.
Communication & Relationships/Connections:
We worked on our vocabulary development by finding synonyms for the first several words on our list. These will help us better understand our novel study, Twenty One Balloons. We read a bit more of the book today. A mystery has developed. How did the Professor start off in the Pacific Ocean with one balloon and end up in the Atlantic Ocean with 20 balloons?

Until next week,
