Critical Thinking & Social Processes
We learned how to play Last Letter. This is a creative word game that uses unique illustrations to encourage quick thinking and countless interpretations. Students also learn how to work cooperatively and control their emotions even if the game does not go their way.

The students were very curious about this "ancient" music player! Yes, you guessed it...it is a phonograph aka record player.

7 Habits - Habit #2 Begin with the End in Mind
We read about how Goob Bear was able to make a plan and save up to buy things he wanted. Then students created their own plan to purchase an item they wanted.
