October Habit of Mind
Creating, Imagining and Innovating
“The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.” ~Albert Einstein
Creating brings new ideas, concepts or ways that could solve a problem. Innovating allows students to invent a tool, equipment or a method that can solve an existing situation or problem. Imagining gives students the permission to form their own idea or picture of something within their thoughts.
