Algebraic Thinking:
The kids worked on Lesson 2 of our Hands on Equations algebra program. They are still using the "Guess & Check" method to solve their simple equations. Next week, it will be all new!
Unit Study:
We moved on with Mission 2 with our Robots. The kids recorded their voices in a greeting. Then they programmed their robots to move forward, play the recorded greeting and record their response. It was fun to hear what the kids said in reply to their robots! Next, we moved on in our Code.org lessons. This time we completed "Maze Sequence". The kids learned quite a bit today in their coding. Some were frustrated, and this is a good lesson in perseverance and problem-solving.
Stations:
We used our divergent and algebraic thinking skills to find multiples and create Math Mosaics. They turned out beautifully! The kids used divergent and convergent thinking to solve problems on Robot Writing and Strange People. Fun stuff!
Novel Study:
We found out where Sammy's mother was--in her workshop! We also had fun choosing our favorite word to share with the class. These kids love big words!
Until next time,
Dr. Kraeger
