We used our divergent thinking skills to create Ninja Comic Strips based on an idea from our novel. The kids are so clever! We used our divergent and convergent thinking skills to solve a variety of tasks on our "Waker-Upper-Robot Name". Finally, we tackled a larger logic puzzle to stretch those convergent thinking skills a little bit more!
Novel Study:
We read a few more chapters in our novel, finding out that E can still scare off a bully!
Unit Study:
We checked out some fun Robot Dance Moves and then created a dance for our Robots to do next week. The kids listed each part of the dance in computer code, so they can program the robots to execute the moves. It should be lots of fun to see the robots dance next time!
We also learned about events in programs. Check out the pictures of the kids acting out the events as I called them out. It was fun and a little bit goofy!
Algebraic Thinking:
We finished up our day with Hands On Equations, using pictorial representation to solve equations. The kids really seem to understand the basics of our beginning algebra. They are ready for the next level in 4th grade!
Until next time,
Dr. Kraeger
