Silent Signals Explained: In our class we silently agree by waving our arms parallel to each other – like a referee declaring a field goal good. To show silent disagreement, the kids wave their arms back and forth to show negation – like when a referee declares a field goal attempt no good!
We also use thumbs to show how we are thinking about concepts: thumbs up - I get it, thumbs down – I don’t get it, thumbs parallel to the ground- I’m getting there.
