It was great as I have students who are very capable with straight skills but this really pushed them to use their problem solving skills and to think outside the box. It was great as some of my top kids were very challenged by this and it also brought up misconceptions from some of my other top kids.<br /><br />I didn't give them a tissue box (as didn't have any of the right size or enough even if I did) but walked around and used it to prompt kids. It's hard work for the teacher to not just give them obvious clues or answers but to think of the right guiding questions!<br /><br />Thank you - we will continue this lesson tomorrow but it is fantastic so far!

I was so caught off guard by my first group and the learning that took place that I told my Asst. Principal to pop in while I did same activity with my 2nd group of kids....he enjoyed watching the magic happen as well :-) Thanks for sharing a great activity!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-85032748646825341982012-03-17T22:06:12.483-07:002012-03-17T22:06:12.483-07:00What do you mean by "the concept of the net&q...What do you mean by "the concept of the net" helping them?

Your depth of knowledge of the curriculum lends itself to lessons which are backed by research(Yakel, Cobb, & Wood, just to name a few) and engagement that allows for conceptual understanding. I wish my kids can have you as a teacher! <br />I have been a big fan of your blog for a while and look forward to your creative ideas~!Ms. Latshawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3633682260880990043.post-68573203459780664622012-02-18T14:55:47.026-08:002012-02-18T14:55:47.026-08:00What a great lesson.
