Kindergarten and Roberts' Fourthies Engage in Creative Problem Solving

Yes, everyone, Mrs. Alexander's class and our class meet almost every Thursday morning to engage in a brilliant, innovative way of problem solving.  It is quite amazing to see these two different age groups interact to figure out the role of each cubelet.  From this discovery, they can make the cubelets do some pretty cool things!  Sorry! Please excuse these first two videos. For some reason, I am having trouble deleting them. They're very short.  Make sure to ask your daughters about cubelets!

The Fourthies Hit Mount Vernon

My favorite picture of our day at Mount Vernon is this one!  It doesn't get any better than rocking on the front porch of our first President's home with a view of the Potomac River...the best view in the country!  What a beautiful day we had! I hope that the girls told you all about George's strategy to win the war through the use of intelligence and spies. He was quite inventive. Make sure and ask them about the theater where his traits of character and leadership were flashed across the ceiling, and lastly, you might ask them where he also held meetings...quite unusual!  You might be surprised!
