Algebraic Thinking:
We moved on to Hands On Equations Lesson 15, which is almost the end of Level 2. They'll be ready to start Level 3 in a couple of weeks. Great work today!
Unit Study:
We continued our Survival research. The kids are finding all sorts of useful information about how to survive on the Oregon Trail!
The kids worked together in their Tribes to line up in Birthday Order, without talking! They were so fast! Great collaboration! A few groups finished their Survivor Audition videos today. Can't wait to watch those in class!
Affective Skills:
We watched a video about "Carpe Diem-Seize the Day" from Dead Poet's Society. We discussed how important it is to go after your dreams!
We continued our Mindfulness Practice with "66 Second Story". The kids can see the difference mindfulness and slow, steady breathing can make in their day.
Stations:
We used our convergent thinking to solve a Versatiles Logic activity. The kids did a great job! They used their divergent thinking skills to create solutions to many wacky puzzles. Loved their great work!
Novel Study:
We created our own maps of "Gribley's Farm" from the clues in our book. Then we read another chapter, and Sam picks strawberries for an old woman he meets.
Until next time,
Dr. Kraeger
