Today after our morning meeting with Ms. Tu, I took her activity and applied it with my own class.The job of the students was to take a thinking map that they don't usually do and work alone or with a partner to show their thinking. We first looked at Time For Kids, and read the article about how plants grow. Students then went off and created their maps. I was so impressed with what they did. Some students challenged themselves and made bridge maps, multi flow maps, and even brace maps. A few even attempted a double bubble. Take a look at their amazing work!

In math we have been working on looking at and observing different shapes. We have learned the difference between 3d shapes and 2d shapes. Students have worked on making shapes with toothpicks and marsh mellows, to creating a collage of shapes!
