2nd Grade - Students were introduced to a visual thinking puzzle where they had to look at the pictures in a box and find the common word or phrase. The social/emotional (affective) lesson focused on the understanding that being gifted means different things to different people. Each week will take a trip to Crystal Pond Woods to explore critical thinking skills. Today's journey had students solving puzzles using a logic elimination grid.
4th Grade - This class also worked to solve the Word Boggler puzzles. Their social/emotional (affective) lessons for this semester will focus on the eight common complaints gifted kids experience. Students were then given a STEM problem and will work through the Engineering Design Process to create something that will solve a problem we have due to the Covid pandemic.
5th Grade - Fifth graders started their class with the Word Boggler puzzles. Leadership is the focus for the fifth grade affective lessons. Today was an introductory day where students discussed their ideas about leaders. Students were then given the Covid-19 problem in which they will design something that will help any aspect of our current situation.
