Affective:
We expanded our "Future Me" work with a deep dive on character traits we have and those we'd like to develop. The kids picked one trait to work on.
We also continued our Mindfulness Practice with "2 Minute Mindfulness". The kids always enjoy this time to focus!
Unit Study:
Research on surviving the Oregon Trail is almost complete. Kids will finish up next week and compile their Trail Survival Handbooks.
Later, we listed as many survival tools as we could and played "Scratch" with our lists. One important discovery-fluence is great, but originality is key!
The kids had a blast with our Survivor Tribe Challenge today-"Face the Cookie". Enjoy the photos! So much fun!
Algebraic Thinking:
The kids used their algebraic, convergent, and evaluative thinking skills to solve a math mystery. They had to use math evidence to prove who was guilty and who was innocent. We talked about how this is what forensic accountants do.
Stations:
We had tons of fun playing convergent and divergent thinking games. So many ways to explore and expand those thinking skills!
Novel Study:
We read another chapter of our novel. The kids are learning what Sam plans to do with "Frightful" his baby falcon.
Have a wonderful Fall Break!
