T is for Think

Every Tuesday morning when we come to gifted we start our day with writing our agenda and then we put our "thinking hats" on to complete a Tin Man Press Activity from "T is for Think." "T is for Think" presents students with a variety of visual information, combined with words, and asks that they think analytically and flexibly about what they are seeing and reading. The students must look at the letter and how it had been changed or what it is doing and think about an answer that begins with that same letter. Visual information and word relationships are important in finding the answers. This kind of activity falls under the "Critical Appreciation" domain of our gifted curriculum. Critical Appreciation includes creative problem solving as well as critical thinking skills. In gifted...L is for Learning and F is for FUN!!!
