The Kinder class continued to work on Magician Thinking today, and did a couple of activities in which they had to do some mental rotation of pictures to find their matches. Then I introduced them to tangram puzzles, and they used TanZen Lite on the iPads to try to solve some. It was very difficult, so I gave them a couple of Class Dojo points just for their persistence. No one gave up, which was great! I am horrible at those puzzles, myself, so I sat down and tried to do one and showed them how I handled it when I couldn’t figure it out right away. I finally was able to solve it, and challenged them to do it, too. One student was able to figure it out, and earned 3 Class Dojo points for his problem-solving skills!
I have two more books to share with you. The links are below. Friday is our last class for this year. Can you believe it?
