We are going to be spreading the wonder to our first grade buddies later this week. We have had 5th grade math buddies this year, and it has been an amazing experience for the class as well as for me to grow professionally.
I decided we needed to give back to our buddies and spread the wonder at Wonderopolis. Our entire school (K-5) knows about Wonderopolis because our librarian, Bill at Literate Lives starts every library class with the wonder of the day and conversation. Our first grade friends have been wondering all year with their teacher, but we want to extend wondering into the summer.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this idea! Did I say I felt inspired? Well, I do! And here's my BRAINSTORM~ Once a week I will post a Weekly Wonder on our KidBlog, kids will comment back with their brainstorms, thinking and questions around the wonder!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hear what wonders the fifth graders brainstormed! The first one about cats having nines lives is PURRfect (couldn't resist) for my kids! We had several cat lovers this year!
I am aslo wondering about fifth grade wonder bud die next year…interested? Skype, VoiceThread, Twitter, KidBlog…I am so excited!
THANks!
I will be happy to post other fifth grade favorites. What a neat idea to continue the conversation over the summer through Kidblog. I would be interested in connecting next year for sure let's talk perhaps some summer PD.
