Inquiry

This session will be structured similar to my approach for an inquiry into any topic in my fourth grade classroom. As with any group of learners, we all have varied experiences and background. We'll spend a few minutes figuring out where we're all at and then take off from there.

My goal is discuss inquiry in general and look at simple, specific ways that we can get started using it with our students during the first week of school.
