Algebraic Thinking:
We started Level 2 of Hands On Equations, learning about the Star-the white pawn. Very exciting!
Unit Study:
We researched Clean Water and Sanitation and also watched "The Water Princess" to learn about how families in other parts of the world struggle to have clean water.
Novel Study:
We read a few more chapters of our book. We met Uncle Ming and heard Mia tell more fibs about having a dog.
Stations:
We used our divergent thinking to transform a key into something else. The solutions were so creative! We did a gallery walk, so they could comment on others' work. The feedback is always interesting!
Affective Skills:
We learned about "Fixed vs. Growth Mindset". The kids are finding a character for each of those to talk about next week.
We continued our mindfulness practice with "Mindful Bell".
HW: Find a character that demonstrates a Fixed Mindset and another for Growth Mindset.
Until next time,
Dr. Kraeger
