Affective Skills:
We discussed criticism and the difference between Constructive Feedback and hurtful Criticism. The kids really noticed the difference after watching some Simon Cowell criticism moments from American Idol. Ouch! So rough!
Unit Study:
We spent time completing our research on Space Race, Cold War and Civil Rights Movement. The kids are collaborating on shared Sway presentations. I love the way they're helping each other and using constructive feedback to make their presentations better.
Stations:
We used our divergent thinking skills to transform a heart. Oh my, these kids are incredibly creative!!! Take a look at their wonderful work!
They also stretched their convergent thinking with a choice of logic puzzles to complete, either a grid style or a Perplexor. They did a great job!
Novel Study:
We read a few more chapters in Hidden Figures. The kids learned about a new "Hidden Figure" today and how she helped in the Space Race!
HW: Seesaw Novel Study Question
