Kinder Practices Magician Thinking

Parents, I am posting the Kinder blog entry for the week today, as we will not have class on Friday due to the holiday.

The Kinder GT students continued to work on Magician Thinking – looking for patterns – today.  First they did a color pattern game on our interactive white board.  Then they worked on a “rotational dominoes” activity.  Matching the shapes to their mirror images was a bit tricky, but they all did very well!

For centers, half the students played a Tangram iPad game that our GT classroom is beta testing.  It uses real tangram pieces on the table that are recognized by a special piece placed by the iPad.  The other half of the students played a game called Q-bitz, where they had to build pictures with colored cubes. Next week, the students will switch so everyone will have a chance to do both stations.
