Ultimate Connections-Bridges!

3/29/2016

0 Comments

 
We started our new unit, Ultimate Connections, off with a pre-test to assess background knowledge and a Bridge Simulation Activity.  The students were placed in different societies with varying resources and food items.  They needed to figure out ways to sustain life by trading.  They learned quickly the importance of bridges!  Check out the fun below:
Later on, we worked on algebraic thinking with a review of our Hands-On-Equations assessments.  Those went home today.  You may want to take a look.  They are not used for grading purposes, more to gauge understanding.  Some of the kids have some work to do in developing more mastery of the concepts.

We also worked on convergent thinking with syllogisms and word ladders.  After our review session last week, we hope there is more success with the syllogisms this week.  

We read more in our novel and used critical thinking to completing a reading activity.  We took our reading out to the Nature Trail seating area, which the kids really enjoyed!

We continued our work on affective skills with a short video about Growth Mindset and an exit slip to cement understanding of the concepts.

Enjoy your Spring Break--No homework!

Until next time,
​Dr. Kraeger

     Fifth grade was the year I learned all about dolphins, read EVERY Beverly Cleary book, and made brownies from scratch. YUM!
