Hello again everyone! Unit Of Inquiry 2 is off and running. What’s your favorite season? While I think winter is easily the best, it turns out not many of my students agree! There were many arguments in favor of summer, spring, and fall as well.

We discussed what we like to do outside, and how the season and weather can affect those plans. We also tried closing our eyes and experiencing the weather with our ears, and imagining ourselves in different kinds of weather. This led to the art exhibit currently sitting outside our room:

Recently we also welcomed our preschool juniors to the school, to show them what their big brothers, big sisters, and future friends do in elementary school. We want them to be excited to join us here in Gojo.

First, we kicked things off by exploring the school grounds with a challenging scavenger hunt. Nobody could find the last item on the list, a red mushroom. We’re suspicious that Mario might have been hiding nearby….

Then the students visited the classroom. Here we are, waiting for our visitors:

So what did we do together? We learned the ABC Dance! Here we are mid-P:

It’s been another fun two weeks, and we’re looking forward to the next two. Come back and find out how we’ve been diving deeper into the world of weather!

Thanks again!
