Look at All We Do!

Over the last two weeks, we have spent a great deal of time creating a reflection of our learning during our Who We Are Unit of Inquiry. To demonstrate what the Explorers have learned they created a poster that showcased what they are like, how they have changed and how they connected to others (peers or book characters). Our fantastic communicators have been presenting their work as well!

Here is a sneak peak of our next Unit of Inquiry:

Our Explorers will begin leading this learning experience next week.

Filled with wonder, filled with questions and uncovering our own answers! Take a look at our researchers in action!

Using our thinking skills in so many ways!

Patrick wrote a fantastic book at home and shared it with his class!

Eloise created a fun illustration of an equation!

We are working on an auction item for the One World Event with Lily, Owen and Kai's mom!
Magical Mandarin

Our Zoo trip was so much fun and definitely full of great wonderings!!

In Mandarin we are learning about animals too. Mrs. Snyder's class even took a virtual trip to the National Zoo (Washington D.C.) to visit the Giant Panda.

Here is the link if you would like to visit the zoo too! Giant Panda Cam

Lights, Camera, Action!
The Beacon Street Theater came for a visit this week to share a message about the importance of being caring. Many of our Explorers were chosen to act out parts too!

Thank you, thank you, thank you Mystery Readers!!
