In kindergaten, students have been learning about detective thinking and creativity. We are using detective thinking to learn how objects can be used differently than the way they appear. Students create dot pictures and objects using the first letter of their name. 

In first grade students are learning about the importance of detective thinking. We focused on the work, "elimination," this month as students worked to use clues to find what was missing. We are also learning about the power of observation and how that helps provide more evidence. 

In second grade students are using The Book With a Hole to learn about creating scenes that include details. Students are also focusing on "detective thinking" as they solve problems and look for clues. 

In third grade students began a creativity lesson on convergent thinking. They are learning about the correct way to solve logic puzzles. Some students are also working on learning about different brain puzzles such as anagrams, hink pinks, rebus puzzles and riddles.
