Convergent Thinking:
We continued our study of analogies by looking at Part-to-Whole relationships. The kids did a great job with this!
Unit Study:
We continued our exploration of Life in the 1880s and extended it with student choice of topics for taking a deeper dive into the research! Life was VERY different way back then. We also did a mini-lesson on percentages, since that was part of our research.
Algebraic Thinking:
Today we split into groups for Hands On Equations. Each group is working at the appropriate lesson based on the results of our pre-assessment. All are working on Level 2 of Hands On Equations. If you would like, you may purchase the HOE Level 2 app for home practice. We'll begin to tackle word problems next week.
Affective:
We continued our mindfulness practice with a short video about Why Humans Feel Anxiety and then practice a Muscle Relaxation exercise.
We also talked about the different ways we learn and how that relates to the parts of our brains.
Novel Study:
We continued our reading about the Professor's amazing voyage. He has run into some very bad trouble and may not survive long!
HW: "I Really do Have a Brain"
Until next week,
Dr. Kraeger
