Today we worked closely with the Year 3/4 teachers to develop a lesson for the classroom that would effectively demonstrate a full Bansho lesson. Toni led the class and the whole lesson panned out exactly as we hoped it would. Everyone is blown away at how much they understand the students' thinking just by listening to them communicate with their partner. Everyone is seeing how Bansho can help a teacher lead their students' to a deeper understanding of math concepts.

After school we were off to the town of Lincoln. It's quite big, but is very old. We climbed up to the Lincoln Castle and were amazed at the views. The castle itself in not completely intact but there was still a lot to see. We saw the original copy of the Magna Carta which was amazing. It was written with a pigeon feather quill, the script itself is extremely small (there are 3500 words on the parchment), and there are not ink blots. I can tell that the scribe had a very good penmanship teacher!!! (pictures to come)
