Convergent Thinking:
The kids are working along on more and more challenging puzzles! Soon, they will be ready for the next level of logic puzzles!
Algebraic Thinking:
We are close to finishing the Level 1 Hands On Equations curriculum. Once group finished today, the other will finish in the next week or two. From there, we move on to applying these methods to word problems.
Unit Study:
We had a great time with our Coding lesson- Artist Loops! The kids were amazed at how much easier loops made the coding process! They also had a great time experimenting with what would happen when they increased the number of loops to VERY high numbers like 50. Cool stuff!
Our Robots experienced "Night Surveillance", which was a lot of fun! They were very successful with this mission!
Affective Skills:
We worked on our curiosity by expanding it to the next trait, "Love of Learning". The kids brainstormed about things they wonder about. They are incredibly inquisitive--pondering things like: Why do people fast?, What happens to our bodies when we die?, Why do we have to eat food? How do people grow? Wow!
Novel Study:
We read another couple of chapters in our House of Robots. The kids found out that Sammy's mother is missing!
