What Went on in C4 This Week?
Week of December 7, 2015
This Week's Activities
We are still plugging away on our DI Challenges! The kids made a lot of progress this week. Some of the teams are starting to really see their big ideas becoming a reality! Below is challenge they are trying to meet!
TEAM CHALLENGE OVERVIEW: Your team is heading off on a journey. Where are you going? What if, at some point, you make a change in direction? Why did you change direction? Where are you going now? Are you going to the same place using a new path or are you going to a different place? With the help of your team-created map, the choice is yours. Tell us a story about your journey. The story should have a beginning, middle and end. With a team-created map, complete with a compass rose and map key, show us your path. At some point, your characters should decide to change their direction. At least two characters should have different ideas or feelings about this change in direction. Show us how your characters, with the use of your map, decide on a new direction to go.
Between the 4 grade levels there are 4 teams competing.
Goldilocks and the Mindblasters- 3rd and 4th grade
The Wolves- 3rd and 4th grade
The Smarties and Dum-dums- 5th grade
