Kinder 2016

Kindergarten has gotten off to a great start this year.  So glad these younger scholars have joined our GT pullout class!  We started class off by reading the book and discussing the title:  I'm Gonna Like Me .  Each one of us made a page for the book showing us liking ourselves even when we made a mistake or had to try a new food like broccoli!  Then we learned more about each other by creating our own Star glyph.  We tested our thinking as we answered questions about our friends based on the way they "coded" their star!

This past week we worked with a different kind of thinking called logical thinking and how you use clues to help you find the answers.  We started out together solving a problem about students and their favorite dinosaurs, but were only given 3 clues to help us match the person to the dino.  We learned that if we took notes on a table it would keep us organized and we could find the solutions. We participated in two logic stations after that in which we had to "level up":  fuzzy logic on the iPad and Zoologic, an activity we worked on together with Mrs. Imrie.
