This yearlong critical thinking course is built around the theme \u201cMade Ya Think,\u201d and it\u2019s packed with big questions, bold ideas, and just enough silliness to keep things fun.\r\n\r\nDesigned for thoughtful, talkative, creative kids (and the grown-ups who love learning with them), 4th Grade Brain Food blends philosophy, informational texts, speech & listening skills, and social-emotional growth into a series of thoughtful weekly lessons.\r\n\r\nWhat\u2019s Inside?\u00a0Click here<\/a>\u00a0for a brief flip through video of this course.\r\n\r\nBe a Podcaster!\r\nIn this year\u2019s multi-week project, students become the hosts of a podcast called\u00a0Who Has Time for This?\u00a0<\/em>Students read a nonfiction book of their choice, then summarize and discuss it in their own podcast episode, learning to inform, explain, and engage like pros.\r\n\r\nBig Questions, Young Philosophers\r\nWho are you when nobody is looking? Why do we laugh? Is a ship still the same if every part is replaced? Students dive into classic thought experiments like the Ship of Theseus and the Veil of Ignorance, learning to see things from multiple perspectives and express their thinking clearly.\r\n\r\nTalking It Out\r\nWhether it\u2019s a one-on-one conversation with a parent or a full group discussion, students learn how to listen closely, speak clearly, and disagree respectfully. They\u2019ll build the habits of great conversationalists through fun, practical lessons on discussion rules, tone, formality, and more.\r\n\r\nReflection & Reasoning\r\nKids learn to slow down and notice how their minds work: Why do we jump to conclusions? What kinds of humor do we love (or not)? Why does making something ourselves instead of buying it feel so satisfying? These mini-lessons help students make connections in their daily lives.\r\n\r\nKey Features:\r\n
