Now you have completed your lesson, lets do the Quiz challenge to see if you are a super ninja! 

Sensei Lukha's method of teaching: Educate comes from the Latin word 'Educo', meaning to draw out from within. Asking questions allows our LIONS to think and be creative while gaining a deeper understanding of what is being taught. It empowers them to become thinking proactive people. If Sensei says something then it means one thing, if our LIONS say it then it means EVERYTHING. Some of these questions are designed to check understanding, others are designed to make the LIONS think about what they have learned and why it is important. This is why Sensei asks so many questions in class.

Now you have completed your lesson, lets do the Quiz challenge to see if you are a super ninja! 

Sensei Lukha's method of teaching: Educate comes from the Latin word 'Educo', meaning to draw out from within. Asking questions allows our LIONS to think and be creative while gaining a deeper understanding of what is being taught. It empowers them to become thinking proactive people. If Sensei says something then it means one thing, if our LIONS say it then it means EVERYTHING. Some of these questions are designed to check understanding, others are designed to make the LIONS think about what they have learned and why it is important. This is why Sensei asks so many questions in class.

We can have an ok time with paper, but if we use our imagination and our skills we can turn that paper into something SUPER FUN!

So much fun from some paper!

This will promote creativity, learning a new skill, the important lesson of turning one thing into another which can lead to conversations about turning seemingly bad situations into good ones/losses into lessons/recycling etc.
