SLIDE 56 + And a final word from our students…
“All of my teachers use Thinking Maps and are impressed
that I already knew them.”
“The Thinking Maps are helping! I get to teach Mrs.
Clohessy how to use them (Olivia does, too!).”
“I was just starting to think and start writing my Christmas
list, and it made me think. As I was thinking I thought about the maps we learned last year. So, I ended up making a Circle Map to brain storm ideas. The best part was that I learned it from the best teacher in the whole wide world…”
