Algebraic Skills:
They used their math and critical thinking skills to help them solve a variety of problems.
Affective Skills:
We continued our work on "The Perfect Square" with a discussion of Perfection vs. Excellence and the possible outcomes of each. Later, we used one of Mona's videos to help with our Mindfulness practice.
Unit Study:
We kicked off our new unit, Cardboard Challenge, with "Caine's Arcade". The kids are beyond excited to get started designing and building their Cardboard Creations. Kids should be able to use recycled cardboard and other materials to build their creations.
Novel Study:
We kicked off our new novel, The Fourteenth Goldfish. The kids love the novel already!
Stations:
We stretched our convergent thinking with chess, Rubik's Race, and Q-Bitz. The kids challenged their divergent thinking with a January F2OE. Take a look at their creative ideas below!
Until next time,
Dr. Kraeger
