Unit Study:
We learned to "Debug" our code by playing "Relay Programming" today. The kids did a FANTASTIC job coding almost everything accurately and catching the few bugs that were made. Later, we programmed our Robots to go on "Security Patrol". So much fun! We even have a few kids working on Scratch.com to learn more coding on their own!
Stations:
We read our new Weighty Word for the week- Raucous. The kids found so many perfect pictures for this word! I can't wait to see the finished products!
We also stretched our divergent thinking with a March F2OE. The kids used creativity to solve tasks in Fluency, Flexibility, Originality, and Elaboration. I love the ideas they come up with! So clever and WAY out of the box!
Affective Skills:
We watched a video about Wisdom and discussed various kinds of wisdom. We also reflected on a time when we showed wisdom.
We continued our Mindfulness Practice with "Mindful Bell" and "2 Minute Mindfulness".
Novel Study:
We read a few more chapters in our book and answered a couple of critical thinking questions. One involved a prediction. We'll see if their ideas were right next week!
