We used our divergent thinking to SCAMPER a pencil. The ideas were incredible! The kids also flexed their convergent thinking muscles with a choice of a Grid Logic Puzzle or a Perplexor.
Unit Study:
The kids learned about Global Goal 4-Quality Education. They watched a brief overview of the Goal and then a picture book, Armando and the Blue Tarp School. The kids were very surprised about the barriers to education that exist for kids in other countries. They did some research about their own country's progress toward meeting the Quality Education Goal.
