A few of the kids don't have a folder to keep their work in for Target Class. If you haven't already sent in a 2 pocket folder, please have one for next week.
Affective Skills:
We continued our work with growth mindset. The kids learned how the brain is "plastic" and can grow and develop with practice. They also learned about Growth Mindset.
Unit Study:
We worked on a new global goal: Climate Action. The kids learned about global warming and clean energy. They also had plenty of time to research the basics about their country: Population, Natural Resources, Climate, Poverty, Child Hunger, Clean Water, Sanitation, Economy, Government type, language, flag, etc.
Divergent/Convergent:
We tackled a more challenging logic activity with Perplexor 5. This one was definitely harder for the kids. They did a good job, with some rethinking! Next, we worked on the plotline for the Super Hero comics. The kids will continue this next week.
Algebraic Thinking:
We finished most of our Math Stars. The kids were stumped by several of these problems. They'll finish this up for Morning Warm-Up next Friday.
Novel Study:
We read some more of our novel. The kids really enjoy this story! There is a critical thinking activity on Seesaw.
HW: Seesaw-Climate Action and Novel Study
Until next time,
Dr. Kraeger
