Chess Masters in the Making!

We have started practicing chess and it is INTENSE!!





Imagine Dragons!!

We learned how to S.C.A.M.P.E.R. ideas that we have to come up with new things! Each letter stands for how to change an idea: Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Minify/Magnify, Put to other use, Eliminate/Exchange, and Reverse/Rearrange! We tried it out with dragons! See our new, cool Imagined Dragons that have been SCAMPERed!





Little Einsteins!!!

Come and take a trip on a wild and crazy ship, full of great ideas from little Einsteins!! The 3rd graders learned about the characteristics of an inventor! They found out that inventors have to be problem solvers, creative, persistent, curious, and open to criticism! That's the only way that great ideas are made and become reality!! The students made a person where they labeled the characteristics of an inventor. Next they added their own heads combined with Einsteins hair! After all, they are inventors of the future and Einstein was the greatest thinker!
