Thrively

Today's Spontaneous Problem: Ahhh!!! Your feet have turned into triangles!  What now?? Name things you can and cannot do with triangle feet.
Boundary Breaker: Which is softer-a whisper or a kitten's fur?

     It was great to be back today!  Students had fun reviewing some of our critical thinking warm-ups and then we jumped into our ancient civilization research. We refreshed on the FINDS method and strategies and then took an in-depth look at our sources to record notes and put together our summaries.  Next week we will be building artifacts exemplifying our cultural universal based on the information we collected.

     Students got to explore the Thrively website and take their personal strength assessments today. Thrively allow students to pursue some of their passion areas with targeted activities called Sparks. We will use it periodically in class and they are also welcome to explore more on their own at home.

     We ended the day with our brain stretcher packets, finishing up our practice with analogies and discovering logical thinking strategies for solving grid plexers or deductive reasoning puzzles.  Ask your student for tips on this one!
