Inquiry Lesson: All About Friends

During this virtual inquiry lesson a Kindergarten class will learn and celebrate the differences they have with friends. The class will form groups to evaluate the questions asked about friends in the classroom. They will be divided into two small groups led by each teacher to help with questions. The children will be offering answers and sharing their personal perspectives. The children will come together in a large group to discuss what they discovered about each other. They will individually create a collage portrait of them and their friends. When the process is completed they share their creation with the class.

Try it Truck

I had the opportunity to partner with the Bay Area Discovery Musuem in order to bring their Try-it Truck to my elementary school site. My students experiences inquiry based-lesson and had experience with the engineering design process.
