My Mission To Teach

My students are on their second go round of Inquiry Circles. They are working on science topics related to the Plant and Animal Life Cycle unit. They are having a great time with this once again. I have found that they need to focus more on developing relevant questions and use those questions to guide their research. I conducted a few minilessons revolving around questioning and monitoring for meaning. Seems to be helping a great deal.  Below are a couple of anchor charts.
