This quarter, our Idea Lab 1st graders continued to learn in new and different ways like our friends at Crystal Pond Woods. We continued to strengthen our visual-spatial intelligence with tangrams and special puzzles.
We learned to play games like Blokus and Quirkle to become better at visual-spatial thinking and also think strategically. 
We strengthened our divergent (inventive) thinking by playing the Idea Lab's version of Scattegories.
We thought in creative and divergent ways when we read the books, Not a Box and Not a Stick by Antoniette Portis. We loved creating things out of boxes and sticks.
We continued divergent thinking by creating our own ocean-themed stop-motion videos. We hoped you liked the videos that we shared with you.
We practiced convergent thinking by learning to solve logic puzzles, playing logic math games, and following step-by-step instructions to build objects.
Welcome to our new Idea Lab members: Aiden, Avya, David, and Harrison. We look forward to getting to know you and hope you really enjoy Idea Lab! Have a great winter break 1st Graders! You have worked hard and deserve a nice, relaxing break with your family!
