We learned a new type of puzzle, called a "Drop Quote" or a "Quote Fall". The kids really enjoyed using their convergent thinking and communication skills to figure out the Survival Quote. We'll be doing another one soon.
Algebraic Thinking Skills:
We continued our lessons with Hands On Equations. The kids are definitely on the right track with the new concepts and moving along well.
We discussed Grit, and how it is necessary for perseverance. The kids read articles about famous people who showed grit on their way to success. We'll finish this activity next time.
We also continued our mindfulness practice to help focus and prepare for learning in the afternoon.
We read a bit more in our books, analyzing the character's motives and exploring some of the symbolism in the book.
Until next time,
