Algebraic Thinking:
We used our mathematical thinking and critical thinking to solve a Buried Treasure mystery! The kids had a lesson in Map Reading to find the treasure.
Unit Study:
We did some more testing for our Forensic Stations. We matched the scent of each suspect's body spray/cologne with the scent from a towel found at the scene. The kids were determined and focused on finding the match.
Stations:
We read two more words from our Weighty Word book, "Paradox" and "Quixotic". The kids did a great job creating visual representations for the words. They also used divergent thinking to create transformations from candy canes. They are so creative! Check them out in the photos! We finished up by using our convergent thinking to solve two logic puzzles. The kids are getting good at these.
Novel Studies:
We read a couple more chapters of our mystery, almost finished! It is very exciting!
Affective:
We watched a video about respect, followed by reflections on how respect impacts us and how we can show respect in class. We followed this with more of our Mindfulness Practice with the "Mindful Bell".
Until next time,
