Today in the target classroom we have been working on logic puzzles and analogies using G6, Communication and G7, Collaboration, in addition to Convergent Thinking. Why do we need to use these standards you ask? Well we need to use communication because it is very hard to do these logic puzzles without talking about it and sharing knowledge, believe me, I know. We also need to use collaboration because we need to share ideas and collaborate so we can get it done as quickly as possible. We do logic puzzles every week, even on early release days. -Alina
Algebraic Thinking:
We reviewed our most recent Hands On Equations lesson before moving on to the new concepts next week. The kids did a great job and seem ready for our next challenges!
Unit Study:
We continued our work on the Frog Projects. The kids are making good progress and will have a few more class periods to work before presenting in late April.
Novel Study:
We read a bit more of our book. The kids used critical thinking to create a Tweet from the perspective of one of the characters. The results were funny, insightful, and well done!
Affective Skills:
We started an activity about Perfectionism today with a white square. The kids damaged their square every time they heard a negative Perfectionistic comment from the story. We had a good discussion and reflection about being perfect and the pressures of that. We'll continue this activity next week.
