The Crystal ClarionWelcome to our archives of the PETS™ newsletter.
This is the original introduction to the first issue of the Crystal Clarion: All of us here in Crystal Pond Woods are very, very excited about sharing our ideas through this new forum. As many of you know, the PETS™ (or Primary Education Thinking Skills) curriculum introduces elementary students to those higher level problem-solving strategies used in convergent, divergent, visual, and evaluative thinking. In the years since Dudley, Sybil, Max, Isabel, Jordan, and I first developed this program, we know that many teachers across the country have not only tweaked our original ideas (improving them immeasurably, we're sure), but have also created wonderful, new activities. And our inquiring minds want these ideas, too!!! Disclaimer - any links, email addresses, etc may be out of date. |
