Boundary Breaker: You have been given a big ALERT project to work on with a partner. What are three characteristics you would want in the partner you choose. Explain your choices.
This morning we finished our final edits to our research and crafted our artifacts! Students who did not complete research projects looked at the Habit of Mind "Questioning and Posing Problems" with our mystery box activity. We discussed quality questioning and narrowing a larger category with general questions rather than specific ones. They also were able to explore some of their spark activities on Thrively.
Together we read Round Trip by Ann Jonas to highlight creative and flexible thinking. The book is original in that each page tells two stories, one right-side up, and one upside-down!
In math, second graders went back to the Maneki Neko bank challenge and looked for a pattern and rule they could use to find the number of penny and dime combinations for any amount of change. Third graders wrapped up Chapter 2 and played "The Race in Base" game in both base 3 and base 10 to help them further compare the two systems. They also got to practice reading and translating numbers in base three. They had fun calculating their Land of Treble ages.
