Unit Study:
We continued our Country research for our Model United Nations unit. The kids are currently checking on Poverty in their country.
Stations:
We worked on divergent thinking by creating solutions for our September F2OE. We also did a Gallery Walk for the kids to comment on their peers' work. It was interesting for them to see other ideas, and they enjoyed reading comments from others. Later we played "Scratch" with our answers from the Flexibility section. The kids loved it! I bet they'll try hard to think of more original answers next time!
Affective Skills:
We continued our Mindfulness Practice with "66 Second Story". The kids can see the difference mindfulness and slow, steady breathing can make in their day.
Novel Study:
We read another chapter in Front Desk. Then we watched the author answering reader questions. The kids found out that the book is based on the author's life as a child.
Until next time,
Dr. Kraeger
