Habits Of Mind

Today I did the Habits of Mind workshop with Natalie who is relieving for Alana. We learnt about the 4 habits of mind, Remaining open to continuous learning, Gathering data through all senses, Striving for accuracy and Thinking interdependently not independently.

Remaining open to continuous learning is when you have humility and pride when admitting you don't know something.

Gathering data through senses is when you pay attention to the world around you; gather data through taste, smell, hearing, sight and touch.

Striving for accuracy is when you try your best and set high standards.

And Thinking interdependently is where you work together in teams.

After we learnt about the 4 Habits of mind then we got into groups of three. In my group there was Brittany, Ruby and myself. After that we had to choose a Habit of mind (we chose Thinking interdependently) and you had to choose if you wanted to write a story, a poem or a play. We did a play. Our play was about us in a group and we had to think of what to paint the school fence like. I came out with girly ideas and then a really good idea that we all agreed on. We all agreed that we could divide the fence into three sections and paint it however we wanted.
