Convergent thinking:
We continued our work with figural analogies and Perplexors. The kids had a bit of trouble with last week's puzzle, so we completed another one together today to bolster our logical thinking skills. It was a BIG help!
Algebraic Thinking:
We worked on the setting and characters for our Algebraic Pattern Books. We'll be working on the plot next time and get busy creating our books.
Affective:
We practiced Mindfulness with a wonderful video, Progressive Relaxation. It's almost 10 minutes, but it works well to just practice part of the video too.
Our study of Character Virtues continued with a video clip. Here's the rest of the video about Perseverance and a chapter in our novel showing Milo's perseverance in his quest to become a perfect person. Following that, the kids searched for an image using Cobb Digital Library's Brittanica Image Quest, that represented Perseverance. I was really impressed with the images they chose!
