This week was another busy yet exciting week for the Rainforest Class. From the classroom to the park and out into nature, the inquirers were engaged in meaningful learning experiences filled with fun, exploration, and discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the highlights of the week was the Rainforest Bus Trip. It was a wonderful treat for everyone as the inquirers had the opportunity to walk around and closely observe nature, including different plants, flowers, rivers, and mountains. The children also enjoyed moving their bodies as they challenged themselves to complete the different obstacles in the park and jump on the marshmallow dome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, one of the most exciting moments of the trip was lunchtime. Everyone proudly shared the lunches prepared by their families, making it a warm and joyful experience for the class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To end the trip, the inquirers created their own coasters and proudly showcased their artistic side. What stood out most was how some children naturally connected their artwork to our Unit of Inquiry by including the 3Rs, animals, trees, and nature in their designs. This was a clear reflection of their growing conceptual understanding and ability to connect learning to different experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the Rainforest Class officially started their second Unit of Inquiry under the transdisciplinary theme Sharing the Planet<\/em>. The central idea of the unit is: Plants grow and change to support life on Earth.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As a provocation, the inquirers went outside to closely observe plants in their natural environment. They explored different colors, sizes, textures, and shapes before returning to the classroom to discuss and share their discoveries.
    We were also very fortunate to have a special guest speaker, Mr. Jimmy from the Canyon Class, who shared his experiences and knowledge about raising plants. The inquirers listened with great interest and curiosity, making the experience both meaningful and authentic. Learning directly from an expert helped deepen their understanding and sparked even more excitement for the unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For our previous Unit of Inquiry about the 3Rs, the inquirers continue to demonstrate strong understanding of the concepts. This week, the class participated in a \u201cPack Smart Challenge,\u201d where they were given different materials and asked to pack only the items that could help reduce, reuse, and recycle. Their choices were thoughtful, and their discussions clearly reflected their growing knowledge and awareness of how their actions can help care for the Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
