Epic Day at Enrich. Please read on......

EPIC       HEY!!!!!

I've had the awesomest day yet of the week (and all the other records of the week; It's just the start of the week anyway).  So I think I've got one rebus correct out of the few on the whiteboard.  Do you want to see it?  Okay here it is:

There are two ducks in front of two ducks.
There are two ducks behind two ducks.
There are two duck in between two ducks.
How many ducks are there?

I think.....


Two ducks in front, two ducks behind would equal four ducks.  Then in between.....  That wouldn't make sense.  Maybe there's ten ducks or eight or six....  I think there's six.

That was only part of my day.  You should of seen brain boosters with Paul.  It was so cool.  I love tangrams.  We made all these animals and people out of:

Two small triangles
A mediam triangle
Two big triangles
A square
A paralaragram

All laminated.  You might also need a sheet to tell you what shapes you need.

I still think the answer is six.  I'll tell you later......

EPIC       BYE!!!!!

Discovery

Hi.....  Again.  Although I do have exciting news...  Our new topic is........  DISCOVERY!!!  Yeah.  Discovery.  And we HAVE NOT started passion project yet.  But yes, I am doing clay this year (again).  Last week, we didn't do a post.  We were too busy.  We have got some cool activities to go.  We are doing this very cool thing around discovery...  Immersion Discovery.  There are ten activities but you only have to do eight.  Four last week, four this week.  They are planted all around the classroom.  But that's still to come.  
Today, we learned the difference between open questions and closed questions. Open questions require a bit of thought and usually a long answer. Closed questions have a simple one word answer.   we had to conduct an interview with a buddy and eventually develop a biography of them. I interviewed Violet and this was one of the ten questions I asked her:  If time didn't matter, what period of time would you be in?                      
I look forward to you seeing my post next week.
