They started off by finishing up left-over work from last week, and then a choice of convergent thinking games or divergent thinking activities.
Convergent thinking:
We jumped back into our Quote Fall from last week, with most of the kids puzzling out the long, difficult phrase. Great job on this!
Algebraic Thinking:
We used our critical thinking and mathematical knowledge to solve a variety of problems from different areas of math. The activity was a great mix of graphing, number sense, operations, and logical thinking!
Affective Skills:
We continued our mindfulness practice with a "66 Second Story" and Ocean Breathing. We also watched a couple of impactful clips about reliability, active participation, and commitment. After some discussion, the kids formed groups to create skits illustrating these traits. With a lot of laughter, we think the message came across clearly.
Unit Study:
Many of the kids have finished their research and are ready to assemble their booklets. We're excited to see what they have to share next week!
Novel Study:
We read another chapter and the kids didn't want to stop reading! It's always a cliffhanger!
HW: Ch. 15 Question #2-Prediction
Until next time,
Dr. Kraeger
