Spontaneous Problem: Define the word zamouse. Students shared their list of ideas and although it really means a West-African buffalo, we adopted the special ALERT meaning of "Hurry Up!"
Boundary Breaker: Students were given the movie title Feet First and challenged to come up with a convincing plot line. With the actual one hidden in the mix we shared the responses and voted on the most likely (and most entertaining!).
Our project progress was great! Many moved past design onto the creation of their artifacts, a few are finishing editing their writing, and notes are almost completed all around. If your student hasn't finished their notes or writing I would be happy for them to spend some time getting caught up at home if possible.
We revisited the critical thinker today, focusing on the standards of critical thinking and its parts. This knowledge will hopefully give them a base for reflecting on their own thinking practices.
We wrapped up with our Land of Treble math, as students took some time to explain their regrouping practices in the base 3 system and compare and contrast it from our Base 10 system.
