Design Thinking Challenge
First graders have been busily solving a problem on Farmer Brown's and Duck's farm. They have come up with innovative ideas to help the new chicks fall asleep at night. After reading Duck's letter, girls started with sketching ideas to design something that would help the chicks fall asleep at night. Then they met with partners to share ideas from their notebooks. At the next session, girls drew a blueprint together with their creative ideas.
