Habits Of Mind 15/6/12

This week at Enrich we started with a Wilson game. We did a game where you and your team had partnered up. After you have done that each team receives a balloon. I was with Libby. We lost by 1 pair and they  had to  go twice. After we did some habits of mind. Alana place 8 habit of mind sheets all  around the room. The 8  habits of mind were Finding humor, Taking responsible risks, Managing impulsivity, Gathering data from all senses, Applying past knowledge to new situations, Responding with wonderment and awe, Listening with understanding and empathy and Striving for accuracy.Finding humor means trying to find the funny side to things. Taking responsible risks means thinking about the risk you are taking. Managing impulsivity means thinking before acting. Gathering data from all senses means using all your senses and using them to gather data. Applying past knowledge to new situations means you use your past knowledge and make it useful in a new situation. Responding with wonderment and awe means having a wow factor for things you find intresting. Listening with understanding and empathy means listening to someone and responding in the way they feel. Striving for accuracy is having a target and aiming to reach it.
