1st Grade Does Some Spring Divergent Thinking

Since we have a holiday on Friday, I am doing 1st grade’s post today.

The first graders practiced using the S.C.A.M.P.E.R. strategy for creative thinking today by doing an activity with “Substitute.”  They imagined a mother bird whose eggs have hatched – only one of the eggs reveals a surprise!  I’ve included some of the ideas they had for surprises in our pictures below.

We checked in with our Twitter friends, who had sent a picture of the flag of Indonesia.  Some of the students thought it was Poland’s flag.  When we did a little research, we realized that the two countries have the same exact flag – only inverted!

The students worked on creating postcards for special sites in their countries that we are also hoping to share with our Twitter friends.  They used a fun app on the iPads called Photo Mapo.  Most of them did not get a chance to finish, so I will share their creations next week.
