Third Grade 26-27

September 1st

I'm so happy to have your third graders in our Horizon class! It was an awesome day of collaborating on a challenging puzzle, communicating multiple perspectives about what Horizon Class is and learning more about ourselves and our classmates through a personality quiz. See below for the puzzle we used to practice our critical thinking and problem solving skills,. 

We will continue reflecting on the personality quiz next week, to help set individual and collaborative goals that we will refer to throughout the year.

September 8th

We started our day by reflecting on our color personality results from last week and thinking about how understanding ourselves can help us better understand and work with others. Then we used our hexagonal thinking to see how we are all connected!

Next, we were introduced to the Scholarly Habits/Behaviors that help us grow as thinkers and learners.  Students reflected on their current learning and level of scholarly behaviors, to set their own personal goal.  

Finally, we gathered for a Conversational Roundtable around an important question:  What is Horizon?  Students shared their thoughts and then we wrote a group definition of what Horizon means to them.
