Unit Study:
We continued our Mystery Unit by learning the parts of a mystery. Later on, we read a short story about a stolen skateboard and used the clues to solve the mystery.
Novel Study:
We read a bit more of our book, The Big Bad Detective Agency. The kids love the silly antics and funny things the characters say. They are already trying to solve the mystery in the book, even though it's only the third chapter!
Divergent thinking:
We used our divergent thinking to create responses for each part of creativity: Fluency, Flexibility, Originality, and Elaboration. The results were SO clever!
Affective skills:
We continued our Mindfulness Practice with "4-7-8 Breathing". This is a good and very easy way for kids to focus, relax, or just have a moment of calm whenever and whereever they might be.
HW: Think of a mystery book to tell the class about
Until next time,
