Affective Skills:
The kids created word clouds of possible obstacles to reach their goals. They also included ways to overcome those obstacles. The results are beautiful!
We continued our mindfulness practice with a calming video.
Unit Study:
We learned about "Thick vs. Thin" questions and discussed how to paraphrase and cite our sources. The kids did more research about their basic facts and their thick questions.
Stations:
We used our algebraic thinking to solve a variety of math problems in our Math Stars. We also applied our convergent thinking to a different type of puzzle. Lots of complaining about how hard the puzzle was. Finally, something challenging! The kids used their divergent thinking to transform frogs. The results were SO creative!
Novel Study:
We read a couple more chapters in our book. We used our critical thinking skills to answer some tough questions while reading.
Until next time,
