Curiosity Counts!

This week 5M started an independent research project.  In order to build interest in researching, we had to think about what makes us curious.  Students started this process by listing all their current interests, followed by questions they have about each interest.  In small teams, students gathered all their questions on a big piece of poster paper.  They had to cover as much space as they possibly could with their questions.  From there, students chose a few questions that made them very curious, and wrote up a KWL chart.  Now, we will use our deeper curiosities to research and find out more about those topics.  Over the next couple of weeks students will be researching their independent topics and preparing a presentation to teach the class what they learned.  5M has gotten very curious...  get ready to find some answers, kiddos!
