Problems Prompt a Need for Problem Solvers

As we finished up our second fabulous Friday, we took time to revisit our web of problems brainstormed last week. After illustrating the ideas, students considered what kinds of problem solvers would be able to tackle each problem and the feelings associated with the problems. As we pushed our thinking, we realized that problems, which sometimes scary or frustrating, can help develop determination, courage, and creativity.

 

Speaking of problem solvers, fifth grade students (former fourth grade scholars), embraced the challenge of preparing our first class-led assembly… in one week. They pulled it off masterfully. Using their unit of inquiry into human rights and responsibility as their foundation, groups of students introduced us to a variety of rights we have. We were grateful for their effort and example of excellence!
