Inquiry Explosion

The month of March has been pretty exciting in our classroom in terms of inquiry. The students are continuing to look into questions they have around our science and social studies topics. They are using the laptops to explore resources such as Britannica School and the Ontario Educational Resource Bank. 

However, and this is the most exciting part, whenever we have independent reading or extra time after an assignment is completed the students are getting together in groups or independently researching topics that interest them. I have a group of boys who, everyday, gather at the back of the classroom with their writer's notebooks and materials on the chosen topic of the day/week. 

I have also just introduced them to Google Drive so that the collaboration can continue on at the presentation/publishing stage. Can't wait to see how this turns out!

Blog you later.
