Brain Stations

The students were able to circulate through four brain stations that promoted critical and creative thinking. The following pictures show students in each of the four centers hard at work!

The stations were listed on the board. The students were put into groups and circulated around together. They knew where to meet and what to bring with them to that center. Each center lasted for about 25 minutes.

This group was working together on the brain station "Time to Eat." The most difficult task in this brain station was not being able to use the same food more than once on the page!

Josie did a great job of deciphering the coded words in "Good Luck 2 u!" She was also helpful at helping team members that didn't understand quite what to do at first.

This group is working together on the brain station "Stick Stories." This group was having great discussions on why they thought specific sentences went with the stick pictures.

Eli is here hard at work at the "A Look at a Book" station.
