Creative Thinking

(8/29) In Mrs. Hilliard's 3rd grade gifted class, students engaged in a series of creative and challenging activities designed to stretch their thinking. First, they attempted a drawing using their non-dominant hand, which tested their patience and fine motor skills while encouraging them to think outside the box. Next, they took a left brain/right brain quiz to explore their cognitive strengths and understand how they processed specific information. Finally, they participated in a "finish the picture" activity, where they were given a partial image and had to use their imagination to complete it, showcasing their creativity and problem-solving abilities. These activities fostered a deeper understanding of their own learning styles and cognitive flexibility.
