First graders will be starting the year with Primary Education Thinking Skills (PETS) unit. The students will use convergent analysis, divergent synthesis, visual/spatial thinking, and evaluation skills during this unit. During the PETS unit, we will be accompanied by six thinking specialists of Crystal Pond Woods:
Dudley the Detective, the convergent/deductive thinker
Isabel the Inventor, the divergent/inventive thinker
Sybil the Scientist, the convergent/analytical thinker
Yolanda the Yarnspinner, the divergent/creative thinker
Max the Magician, the visual/spatial thinker
Jordan the Judge, the evaluative thinker
Students will learn about different types of thinking in different problem-solving scenarios. What areas of thinking come easily and naturally for them? What are some areas they can work on improving?
