Snow-forts

The Jr. Kindergarteners were so excited to see all of the snow pile up outside of our window this week. We decided to embrace it by building snow forts for a STEAM and Habits of Mind activity! 
On Thursday, we broke into three teams to plan the forts and come up with a supply list. On Friday morning, we used our plans to work together and create amazing structures! 
We used many habits of mind to complete this teamwork activity-  creativity, imagining, and innovating, thinking flexibly, persistence, thinking interdependently, responding with wonderment and awe, and thinking/communicating with clarity and precision. Now we can use another habit of mind- applying past knowledge to new situations- to go home and build some more!
