It was a Wonderful Wednesday with 5th Grade Target!

Algebraic Thinking:
We used our math skills and critical thinking to collaborate on solving a variety of math problems. The kids did a great job on these.

Unit Study: 
We started our research for Genius Hour Projects. Look for the Genius Hour Project Plan to come home for review and signature. 

Affective:
We finished creating our "Dream" poem and artwork. The results are incredible! We also continued our Mindfulness Practice with "4-7-8 Breathing". 

Novel Study:
We read a chapter in our novel, Ungifted, and challenged ourselves with a critical thinking questions Kahoot! The kids had a great time!

Stations:
We used divergent and critical thinking skills to create a scene from Chapter 2 of our book. Love the clever titles and insightful comments! The kids enjoyed learning a new divergent thinking game, "I Survived". The kids had to invent a survival story using three items. The stories were hysterical! Not sure how the "Judge" for each round was able to decide which was the best! 

Until next time,

We had a wonderful first day back at Target! Our new Target friends did a great job!

Unit Study:
We got started on our Genius Hour unit. The kids are so excited about potential Project Ideas! Check out the Intro video on my Target Glog.

Novel Study:
We started our new book, Ungifted. The kids love it so far!

Affective Skills:
We used MS Teams and Powerpoint to create Scrabble games to tell all about ourselves. What a fun way to get to know more about each other! These kids are so clever!
We continued our Mindfulness practice with a review of Still Quiet Place.

Until next time,
