Mennies' 5th graders in Mrs. Gaetano's class put their critical thinking skills to the test with a Mind Squeeze Activity! They were given a sheet filled with unrelated pictures and words and had two minutes to study it. Then, with the paper covered, they had four minutes to recall and write down as many words and images as possible.
After the challenge, students discussed the strategies they used to improve their memory and how this activity connects to the Portrait of a Graduate (POG) competency: Critical Thinking.
What a fun and engaging way to sharpen our minds and build essential thinking skills!
