Day 1 of Design Team Boot Camp...


Good Day Design Team,

      Mr. H and myself are extremely happy and proud of the way our first day went.  You are all amazing thinkers with tons of potential.  This boot camp is designed to develop your ability to generate many variations of your ideas as well as combine them with the ideas of others to innovate and create.  In order to do this as a Design Team we have to learn certain habits of mind so that we can practice them with others.

       So far, we have spent time defining teamwork as a group, we have identified challenges that sometimes get in the way of teamwork, and stumbled upon some really great questions that will deepen our understanding as we grow as a Design Team.
How are mistakes and/or failures good things?

All throughout this blog post you will find pictures that log our work, our discussions, our questions, and habits of mind.  Click on some of the questions to see if you can think of any answers we have discovered.  Remember, we have learned:

1. Think alouds
2. Read alouds
How do we share "AIR TIME"?
3. Wizards & Gelflings
4. Reading a Visual Image
5. Turn & Talk (Think-Pair-Share)

How do we make sure everyone is included?

     









Reading a Visual Image

      We are looking forward to the rest of the week.  Enjoy yourselves and be sure to engage.  We love hearing your voices, your ideas, and your enthusiasm.  Our Design Team will only get better because of our work together.
Why is listening sometimes harder than
speaking your thoughts?

Sincerely,

Mr. C & Mr. H
What do you do after you realize a
mistake and you have put a bunch of
time in to your work?
