The Station Rotation was jam-packed! We continued with logic puzzles and sequences for convergent thinking. For divergent thinking worked on a Valentine Creative Problem Solving task. We also worked on critical thinking with a Versatiles activity.
Self-Reflection:
We continued our Mindfulness Moments with a 5 minute guided relaxation called, "Fire and Light".
Algebraic Thinking:
We continued Hands-On-Equations with different groups to meet everyone's learning needs. Our new students are doing great, while our returning students are moving along with their algebraic thinking by continuing their work on creating equations from word problems.
Medieval Unit Collaboration/Research:
We collaborated in Expert Groups to create projects to share their learning about our Medieval Times topic! Great Job!
Novel Study:
We read two more chapters in our novel, The Whipping Boy. Jemmi has just written the Ransom Note and is planning to trick the outlaws! We focused on the use of verbal, situational, and dramatic irony in these chapters.
HW: Edmodo-Write a short update about progress on your Medieval Project. Tell what you have finished, and what is left to work on.
Until Next Week,
Mrs. Kraeger
