The first graders have been working on their visual thinking skills by doing origami and other activities. They did some more tangram puzzles using our Osmo systems on Friday, and also built some masterpieces out of Magnatiles as well as solving some challenging “Go Getter” puzzles.
On Tuesday, the students took a short field trip to the playground to take some pictures. We are inviting people around the world to share playground pictures from their schools and wanted to add some from our own school to the slide show. So far, we have pictures from Africa, Australia, South America, North America, and Asia. We are still waiting on one or two from Europe. Hopefully they will be added this weekend! Below, you can see the students pointing out Bahrain on our wall map (which happens to be near Saudi Arabia).
