Unit Study:
The kids worked on their Mystery Stories. Some of the kids are connecting their stories to other stories. It should be interesting!
Stations:
We read a couple more words from our Weighty Word book, "Heresy" and "Ingratiate". The kids did a great job visualizing their words today! We also used our convergent thinking to solve a Versatiles puzzle. The kids finished up with a Math Stars to challenge their algebraic thinking with a variety of math problems.
Novel Study:
We read chapter 5 of our mystery book. The kids are hot on the trail of the criminal!
Affective Skills:
We learned about "Curiosity is a Super Power" and "PBS Kids Talk Curiosity". The kids synthesized their learning by completing this simile, ""Creativity is like...". The responses were interesting and creative!
We continued our Mindfulness Practice with "66 Second Story". The kids can see the difference mindfulness and slow, steady breathing can make in their day.
Until next time,
Dr. Kraeger
