Our wonderful Mandarin staff is already jumping into our new Unit of Inquiry, Where We Are In Place and Time, by introducing position words. They even created a fun game using direction words. Once they found their square, they had to act out what the card said. We had laughing loudly, dogs barking, and even crying.
The students did an excellent job recording the last UOI in their lap books. They turned out great! It was amazing how well they were able to relive the planner by reflecting on their lap books.
Our provocation for our new UOI caused the students to really wonder. They looked closely and a newspaper from the 1940's. They also saw pictures of maps from Cleveland and Cuyahoga County in the 1900's. Then, the students were asked to write down what they thought Cleveland was like in the early 1900's. One student even mentioned that the only ones in first grade that were alive in the 1900's were the teachers. Another Explorer pointed out that Campus International didn't exist in the early 1900's.
Reminder: Please plan on attending the CIS PCO meeting on February 18th.
