Thinking Maps

 We continue to embrace and celebrate our learning of the eight visual-verbal THINKING MAPS in LRC.  Thinking Maps give students a common set of language “tools” for meaningful learning, and a way to connect visual patterns with our thinking and linking to curriculum.   Thinking Maps, promote cooperative learning, concept development, reflective thinking, creativity, clarity of communication and continuous cognitive development. 

The diagram below displays the eight Thinking Maps, the thinking process associated with each map, and the visual graphic that corresponds to each Thinking Map.

Take some time and discuss with your child the various Thinking Maps they are learning in school.  YOU will be amazed at the power of what they are learning!
