We are branching out in our critical and creative thinking lessons focus.
What: Fluency, Flexibility, and Originality (Critical and Creative Thinking)
This strategy encourages students to think about many possibilities, of old things, the world around us, and how we can re-think and explore the positive and negative aspects of ideas or activities. This model encourages students to create and engineer “real-world problems” into functional solutions.
At Home Connection: Take a toilet paper role and engineer it into a new object. Take a picture and share it with me at yfwilliams@fcps.edu
Join the fun at this year's International Night. Food, singing, and dancing are all part of our celebration of the many cultures that make up the Bren Mar Park school community.
