Unit Study:
We walked down the Professional Learning Room and discovered a "Crime Scene"! It seems that poor "Felix Navidad" has died. There were many clues at the scene, so the kids recorded their observations to discuss later. When we got back to the room, we shared our observations and learned about the possible suspects. The kids are SO fascinated with the elements of this mystery! They can't wait to dive into it next time!
The kids also worked on their Mystery Stories with many recording their stories for our "Mystery Story Theater". I hope you check it out!
Novel Study:
We finished our book, The Big Bad Detective Agency. It appears that there may be a second in this series, so maybe your kiddo would like to read it.
Algebraic thinking;
We combined our convergent thinking with math skills to solve some Ciphers and figure out the secret codes. Too much fun!
Stations:
The kids used their convergent thinking skills and also knowledge of the english language to solve a coded message. Oooh, it was hard, and they LOVED it!
HW: Mystery Reflection
Until next time,
