Hilarious conversation that took place a couple of weeks ago while the students were working on their Challenge Based Learning (CBL) Natural Disaster Challenge.
5th Grader: Did you know that hurricanes are partly formed when cool air rushes over warm water?
Me: That is so cool! How does that information help your group with your challenge?
(Challenge-To help others know what to do before, during and after a hurricane.)
5th Grader: Well we thought to keep the water cooler we could create a campaign telling people to stop peeing in the ocean. You know to prevent hurricanes (giggle).
Me: (laughing) I think that campaign might be a good idea, but not to prevent hurricanes.
5th Grader: (to his group) See I told you all she would laugh.
Well at least he was using his critical thinking skills.
