After a visit from the Petting Zoo, many of our K1 students were curious to learn about different animals. Some small groups from Ms. Charlotte and Ms. Dibbert's class came to the library to investigate some of their wonderings.
Many students wondered about snakes! Their questions included: What do snakes eat? What kind of teeth do snakes have? How do snakes make sounds? How do snakes shed their skin? What types of snakes are there?
We used books and PebbleGo to search for answers. We drew pictures and recorded our new learning as a small group. Then we took our new knowledge back to the larger learning community to share.
When students form their own questions, they are highly motivated to find answers and excited to teach others about what they have discovered. We can't wait for the next batch of questions our budding researchers come up with!
