While the movie might bring up thoughts of
Saturday detention, running around school or dancing in the library, Goodrich’s
very own Breakfast Club is far from this.
In fact, it is a group of students in first
through third grade who, between 8:00 and 8:25, spend their time eating,
laughing, learning and socializing before the school day begins. It helps to
start the day off on the right foot and we even learn a few things along the
way.
Today, we worked to brainstorm ideas for our
strong brain vs. weak brain bulletin board. We needed to come up with thoughts
for what a weak brain might say and also what a strong brain might say and hang
them up as reminders for the rest of the year. Today, we only focused on what a
weak brain might say and on Monday we will focus on the bigger and better
strong brain.
In order to brainstorm, we used two cooperative
learning structures called jot thoughts and round robin. Students took turns,
during round robin, naming ideas of what a weak brain might say. We wrote them
down as we went along and then added them to the jot thoughts box in the center
of the table. Our goal was to fill the box with ideas, and we did!
Below is a picture of students participating in
the brainstorming process and also of the final bulletin board with all of
their great ideas!
