Strategic+Thinking+Day

WCCSE Strategic Thinking Day **grades 5** ** : **

Dear G&T/Enrichment Teachers, WCCSE Strategic Thinking Day for fifth graders will be held at __Harmony Township Firehouse__ on

beginning at 9:30 a.m. and ending at approximately 2:00 p.m.
Strategic Thinking Day will emphasize problem solving through learning to play inexpensive games that can be brought back to your school! Each school that participates will have the unique opportunity to hear from Joan Wendland, engineer/game developer, who will present her original game, X-Machina. Not only will the students learn to play her game, each school will get a game to keep for their school district! Also throughout the day, students will learn several other strategic games and can participate in the Rubik’s Cube Tourney. There are 3 divisions. Novice: Solve one side of the cube for speed. Scholar: Solve the cube using the manual or your own notes. Master: Solve the entire cube for speed.

Please have your students bring a bag lunch and beach towel to sit on during lunch. If you plan to attend, please fill out the registration form and email it to me by **May 9, 2016** You may register up to **8** fifth graders at this time**. DO NOT REGISTER MORE THAN 8 STUDENTS. __We will close registration once we have 88 students registered.__**  By May 11, I will confirm space availability for those who request to bring additional students.
