Not A Box Creativity Challenge
First graders began the year reading this wonderful book and discussing creative thinking. We talked about different ways to think of creative ideas! We can think of many ideas, we can turn an idea into something new, we can think of a new and different idea, or we can dig deeper into an idea.
Students then demonstrated flexible thinking, just like the rabbit in the book, to turn a box into a "not-a-box!"
We then created "creative thinking crowns" that will help us think of creative ideas!

After talking about maps and what they are used for, 1st graders used their creative thinking to create maps of their imaginations. Some ideas students shared included adding mermaids, monsters, things you like, designs, colors, forts, and animals! Check out our awesome, imaginative artists at work. Drawing materials paired with a basket of assorted materials encouraged playing as part of the artistic process.

How do you use your imagination?
