Stations:
We used our convergent thinking to solve two different logic puzzles--"My Place in the Pond" and "Frog Origami". The kids did an amazing job with these! We also used our communication skills to do Back-to-Back Frog Drawings. Partners had to describe how to draw the picture they had to the other partner who was doing the drawing. The results were pretty interesting!
Algebraic Thinking:
We worked to solve a variety of math problems with different strategies.
Unit Study:
We finished our last Frog Anatomy chart. Then, we had our Dissection! The kids did an AMAZING job! They worked together, listened to our Scientist, and were able to do a lot of exploration with their specimens (Crayfish and Frog). The kids were able to identify and examine many of the internal organs for both animals, as well as find out some weird facts about each animal.
