We’ve had such a fun couple of weeks in Idea Lab getting to know each other! Welcome to our new 1st grade members!
Another student will join us next week!
To start our time together, students created “brains” filled with our hobbies, interests, and talents so we could all learn more about what makes each of us unique. We shared our creations using a Kagan cooperative learning structure called Mix, Freeze, Pair. With music playing, students mixed around the room and, when it stopped, they paired up and traded their “brains” to peek inside each other’s minds.

We also built LEGO scenes to show something we love to do in our everyday lives. From arcades to playgrounds, swimming pools to skate parks, and even museums—our LEGO worlds gave us a glimpse of the places and activities our friends enjoy most.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to start meeting our P.E.T.S. (Primary Education Thinking Skills) characters.
First, we’ll be introduced to Max the Magician, who helps us stretch our visual-spatial intelligence.

It’s been a wonderful start to the year!
