| A social skills lesson this afternoon asked students to place themselves in a Venn Diagram based on their interests and tendencies. The three circles were sports and movement, social and imaginative (a stretch to have in the same circle, I know, but a functional pairing for this exercise), and artistic. The purpose was to give a visual model of the complexity of our social network – we are many individuals with diverse interests. Furthermore, when we hang out with different people, our behavior and self image can shift. As it turns out, we are each many people! |

Science: two diagrams and two paragraphs on today's matter demonstrations
Today in Math Club students enjoyed puzzling over how to buy 100 candies with $15 if cotton candy costs $1, candy bars 50 cents, and gumballs 5 cents (clearly an old problem, given the costs!). There were also geometric puzzles carving out equal area, a word puzzle similar to Sudoku, a zigzag puzzle, and some Chinese New Year puzzles, since this Sunday is the start of the Yin Water Snake year. Finally, some students learned a new game which would be easy to play at home--Fantastic Four.
