We broke into small groups to begin our work on Word Problems. We used our Hands On Equations to create equations from the word problems and solve them. It is very important to learn and review the basics at this point, so as the problems become more challenging, the kids understand the key steps in solving these problems.
The kids started the design process for their games today by creating a Game Plan. They're working in class to create a Board Game, Card Game, or Video Game. The Game Plan includes the Title, Theme, Objective, Characters/Materials, Rules/Directions, Ways to Level Up, Risks/Rewards, and a sketch of the scenes, board, and/or cards. We'll be working in class for the next several weeks.
The kids worked on identifying humor in the novel this week. They also answered some critical thinking questions in our Kahoot! game as we read the next chapter. We're learning some surprising things about Grandpa!
