Primary Education Thinking Skills

PETS™ (Primary Education Thinking Skills) is a systematized enrichment and diagnostic thinking skills program. Lessons are presented in convergent analysis, divergent synthesis, visual/spatial thinking, and evaluation, suitable for grades K-3. The program aligns to the higher levels of Bloom's Taxonomy.

PETS™ 1, the red book, introduces the six thinking specialists of Crystal Pond Woods:
-Dudley the Detective, the convergent/deductive thinker
-Isabel the Inventor, the divergent/inventive thinker
-Sybil the Scientist, the convergent/analytical thinker
-Yolanda the Yarnspinner, the divergent/creative thinker
-Max the Magician, the visual/spatial thinker
-Jordan the Judge, the evaluative thinker

Included in the 24 lessons are encounters with the animal characters who are engaged in problem-solving scenarios calling for their types of thinking -- four lessons involving each character (two whole class lessons to help identify talented learners with accompanying reproducible activities, and two small group lessons for identified students and accompanying reproducible activities).
