How the World Works

We have begun our latest unit of inquiry, How the World Works.  As part of our study we are going to experience and explore our AMAZING world!  We will be focusing our inquiries primarily to plants, but will also be looking into many other aspects of the world around us.

Here is the general layout of the unit:

Central Idea:

The children see the wonder of the world by interacting with the environment and making choices.

Lines of Inquiry:

1-The life cycle of plants

2- The interdependence of land, people and animals

3-Food changes due to weather and availability

A few of our exciting adventures:

1)  A growing room on the kindergarten floor

2)A greenhouse outside as the weather improves

3)Composting

4)Dehydrating fruits and vegetables

5)A Saturday family trip to the Westside Market
