Probably one of the coolest experiences ever 🐥
The little chick is now fast asleep after all that work being the first to hatch.

One of my absolute favourite things to do in the classroom - inquiry! Our initial question: how do forest animals survive during different times in the year? Clay, LEGO, writing, reading, videos… Ss decided on making a museum to share with family & friends! 🤩

And this is the replacement board! Qui suis-je?
What do you know about yourself?
What/who do you want to become?
Who is part of your family?
What makes you special?

Inquiry isn’t necessarily choice over WHAT students learn.
Consider this: agency, empowerment, curiosity within the designed structures and frameworks that shape HOW students learn.
Teachers don’t need to let go of WHAT they teach but they do need to empower in HOW they teach.

The @NatGeo Seek app is back by popular demand in the forest! Kids were so invested in finding out about all the different species growing ON the trees instead of just around them.

I finally took down our collaborative salmon life cycle bulletin board, but I had to take a picture first to remember it. It’s BEAUTIFUL - the kids did such a great job 🥰
