Inquiry Teams




My students began their inquiry teams this Monday. They browsed baskets of books related to weather and went on a "nonfiction weather words hunt." They devised a list of words that they predicted they would find as they browsed the baskets full of weather related resources. They each chose a word and kept a tally on how many times they came across those words as they explored the materials in the baskets. Great lesson. Kids loved it and learned so much!

PEACE,
Carol

Happy New Year!





Happy New Year! I had my kids write about what they thought they could do to make a difference in the new year. They wrote some magnificent responses!
