Van Arsdale: Who are we? Where are we starting?


Welcome to the beginning of our Inquiry Notebooking project.  Since teachers from Van Arsdale and Hutchinson will be working on this project and sharing ideas throughout the year, it makes sense that you should know each other and each other's work.

 The first grade team at Van Arsdale have used notebooking in science and explored using them in social studies as well.  They are more comfortable with using an inquiry-based approach in science. 

At this time, this is their schedule:

9-10:30- Reading Workshop
10:30-10:45- Recess
10:45-11:35- Sci. /SS
11:35-12:15- Lunch/Recess
12:15-12:50- Read aloud/intervention
12:50-1:35- Specials/Planning
1:35-2:35- Math
2:35-3:30- Writers’ Workshop


Focus for Inquiry Cycle One
The first grade team wants to think about using inquiry-based questioning to help students go deeper in their learning.  Also, how can the notebooks be used for the benefit of students?
