"I wonder..." and "I know..."


I know these pictures may be difficult to see, but I am so proud of all the students and the work they did here! I asked them to go home and tell their families Miss Pal was very proud of them. (I hope they did!) 

The students have been very excited to be able to collect enough money (thank you!) to send to the WWF to help the snow leopards so we decided to learn more about snow leopards. We started by discussing as a whole class, brainstorming as many questions about snow leopards as we could and then doing large group research sessions on these questions. 


After a week of learning about snow leopards together, I worked with small groups or individual students to write out their "I wonder..." statement about snow leopards, research the answer together and then to write out their "I know..." statements together. 


Every student had a great time learning and working on this inquiry! Great job!
