I See... I Think... I Wonder...

This language is used often in the Kindergarten classroom and encourages children to explore their own interests and inquiries in a deeper way. These prompts can be used while your child watches an animal, observes natural phenomenon, looks at buildings and structures, helps with cooking in the kitchen, or completing a science experiment. Use these prompts orally and have a discussion about what they see, think, and wonder, or print it off and have them draw or write about their thinking!
