Today, after a lively get-to-know-you game, the first graders started by finishing up their inventions, books, and Book Creator portfolio posts from last week's work. They then were introduced to four of the Habits of Mind--Managing Impulsivity, Thinking Flexibly, Finding Humor, and Striving for Accuracy. 

The students were given the challenge to use their Maker Boxes to create a sculpture that represented one of the four Habits of Mind that they learned about. Then, the rest of the class tried to guess which Habit they were trying to represent. The students did a phenomenal job working together and thinking abstractly on this challenge! At Choice Time, students chose to read, fold origami, play Rubics Race, play tricky triangle, and play mancala.
