I also got really excited about them and totally clicked with Greg who I can tell will be a great sounding board for bouncing implementation ideas off of. I can't wait to try them out in my class!Your Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225901517331877700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175684769476781639.post-58087952813147391422009-04-18T08:06:00.000-07:002009-04-18T08:06:00.000-07:00I was curious, so I watched the video about these ...I was curious, so I watched the video about these blocks, and I am facinated. Now I have to get myself some. I am such a visual learner, and I keep thinking about the ways they would help me sort out the different methods to calculate equity valuations or steps to tearing apart financial statements. Can non-educators obtain these things somewhere?Charissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00875432636228684233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175684769476781639.post-18671364192263617152009-04-17T08:45:00.000-07:002009-04-17T08:45:00.000-07:00It's great to see teachers so excited about the pa...It's great to see teachers so excited about the patterns of thinking! Be sure to let us know when you blog about implementing this in your classroom, and we'll link to you in our blog (besides that, we also just love hearing from teachers!).Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09130463148076128085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175684769476781639.post-12131129869654465382009-04-17T03:53:00.000-07:002009-04-17T03:53:00.000-07:00Yes!

The Patterns of Thinking is so exciting - imagine helping children to construct their knowledge and for teachers to have a little window into seeing "how" their children are thinking. Keep playing and follow the ThinkWorks thinking blog!<br /><br />BTW - I loved hearing about your kindergartner who took notes and was proud of the learning process!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175684769476781639.post-16316612848996876502009-04-15T17:38:00.000-07:002009-04-15T17:38:00.000-07:00You should ask for it!

I think you could do SO much with it. Actually, I'm getting excited just thinking about what you could do with it. Yes, you have to get trained! There is a training on the 28th- you should ask to go!organized chaoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18050635225751382130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175684769476781639.post-43009051028892972892009-04-15T17:34:00.000-07:002009-04-15T17:34:00.000-07:00This all sounds so intriguing.
