Week of February 11th

We are starting our inquiries into bones and muscles.  This week we will be working on teamwork.  Each inquiry group will think of a team name and team ground rules.  The inquiry groups will be doing in depth research into one question about either bones or muscles.  This inquiry is a big undertaking and requires the children to read and think critically about a variety resources.   Here are some photos of  groups working together:

Can you work as a team?

Sharing our thinking!

Everyone is focused and working together.

We have team names!

We came up with ground rules for working together.
