I observe and notice. 

Research (Prove, demonstrate, interpret, explore, document, discuss)

I ask questions.]]> 2021-02-19 09:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/d_helmy1/4f09mbxjkjej9v4l/wish/1218230257 https://padlet.com/d_helmy1/4f09mbxjkjej9v4l/wish/1218236246 1)ATL :Thinking
Skill: Thinking skills
Idea: Give open ended questions, give time to respond to questions,give time for reflection

2) ATL: Communication
Skill: Communication skills
Idea: Model different language, practise and apply the skill learned, consider shared ideas and arise a challenge from it]]> 2021-02-19 09:27:24 UTC https://padlet.com/d_helmy1/4f09mbxjkjej9v4l/wish/1218236246 https://padlet.com/d_helmy1/4f09mbxjkjej9v4l/wish/1218239991 Research: Formulate questions, document our observations using sensory language, keep a record/chart and display, make predictions based on observations and available tools - make sure children have adequate time to do all these things.

Thinking: New knowledge and vocabulary associated with topic, making personal connections and checking for shared experiences, thinking of impacts on others "what is xyz happened/didn't happen" or "how do we solve xyz problem?" - Inquiry is open ended and children are given time to respond and share.

-We will start with a structured observations as small groups where we connect back to our use of the five senses to observe the living thing.  
-Over the course of the unit, we will introduce living things where students will use their observation skill. 
-We will discuss, reflect and ask questions as a class during connection times. ]]> 2021-02-19 09:29:52 UTC https://padlet.com/d_helmy1/4f09mbxjkjej9v4l/wish/1218241315 https://padlet.com/d_helmy1/4f09mbxjkjej9v4l/wish/1218251773 Provocations: Picture of a rainbow, a snow storm, a tornado. Books: "It Looked like Spilt Milk", "The Rain Came Down", "Planting a Rainbow", "Little Cloud".
During the unit we will observe and document different weather patterns, using visible thinking skills--"I see, I notice, I wonder", and investigate the how and why behind rain, rainbows, storms, tornadoes, etc.  
--We will graph weather conditions that we observe locally and investigate weather conditions in different parts of the world.  
--Water cycle (how water changes, what happens to puddles, where does rain come from)
--Types of clouds (what could they be?
--How people adapt to different climates? (clothes, and structures)

Sorting between our questions and connections

Bring in Sost (Mr. Dwayne's dog - high interest and connection already)
What are we interested in knowing more about?  
How can we find out?
(Also explicitly identifying when we are asking questions and making connections during connection, reflection times).]]> 2021-02-19 09:35:32 UTC https://padlet.com/d_helmy1/4f09mbxjkjej9v4l/wish/1218252883 https://padlet.com/d_helmy1/4f09mbxjkjej9v4l/wish/1218255132 Defining what weather is, formulating a KWL chart as a starting point to determine a focus and direction based on "I wonder/want to know...", document daily observations and how weather can change with time, discuss how we prepare for weather and how it can impact our choices, how does weather make us feel, how can we measure or predict weather using appropriate tools, share our experiences related to weather, read books, create our own stories and pictures, use visuals to accompany vocabulary and encourage its use in the classroom,]]> 2021-02-19 09:36:27 UTC https://padlet.com/d_helmy1/4f09mbxjkjej9v4l/wish/1218255132 https://padlet.com/d_helmy1/4f09mbxjkjej9v4l/wish/1218258173 We explore different materials to extend and enjoy our creativity

-Giving them a small introduction about what we are doing and where /how it came from.
- Defining/ showing different materials
- Exploring different material (ex. in art different fabrics)
- Giving them the time and space to explore it themselves and see how they will figure it out.
-Enjoying the different material by exploring them and working at the skills of it and how to use it.
-Making sure they understand what they are doing
- Give enough time to practise the skill and apply it.
- Reflect on what they did and what they think of it and whether they enjoyed it or not.
