Love this creative thinking lesson with 1st grade. Here are a few examples of some of our bad ideas... flying a kite in a thunderstorm, letting your pet guinea pig play with an eagle and touching a powerline. So much fun!

What I love most about my job is that I've been doing this creative thinking lesson in first grade for years and every year someone surprises me with their creative thinking or vocabulary. Enjoy this example of both. The H was "hyper" and the h was a "hybrid" @paeseagulls
