Inquiry Lesson

As my district is not back in school I taught my lesson at Green Gables Day School.  The school age class has 18 kindergarten through fifth graders.  The lesson was a learning experience for everyone.  All students were given the project, placed in groups, and left to discover.  I did circulate to facilitate by answering questions.  I could quickly tell those students who do not use inquiry on a regular bases.   The students were filled with questions and curiosity.  As we finished this lesson they all wanted to know what we would be studying next.  Based on the fact students on their summer break wanted to study more I think the lesson was a success.

This student will be starting Kindergarten and is learning to label a diagram.
