Looking Through The Lens: Habits of Mind

We revisited the Science Handbook that we wrote earlier in the year,
but this time we looked through the lens of the Habits of Mind

 

We found the most of the sections in our book matched at least one Habit of Mind.
It was exciting to see that the characteristics of successful people were so closely
related to the skills the children identified themselves doing
as successful scientists researching shadows.
 



While the children learned a great deal about shadows,
 there will always be more to know.
These habits are the learning that lasts.
 It is the learning that will carry them forward through their next challenges.
