The first graders are learning about the library neighborhoods. Back in kindergarten, they learned about the "Wonder Wall," the nonfiction neighborhood, by drawing pictures of their wondering topics. They repeated this activity this week, but added any words or descriptors that they wanted. They have shown incredible growth in their ability to communicate an idea.
We had much fun, somewhat chaotic at times, finding books along the Wonder Wall to help answer their questions. I love this early introduction to inquiry. Check out what these first graders want to know:
"How animals live in harsh weather"
This student shared that she wants to be a "naturolgist" when she grows up. Given how much she reads and learns about animals and the natural world, I have no doubt she will be.
