We spent this week wrapping up our Unit of Inquiry of Where We Are in Place and Time. An inquiry into homes and journeys and the environmental impacts was so interesting!
A big thank you as well to all the parents that volunteered on the day of the Home Exhibition. You surely helped make it a day filled with wonderful memories!
Here is a photo journey for your viewing pleasure:
As we enjoyed our Exhibition, we also spent a great deal of time reflecting back on all we have learned through the unit. Here are a few samples:
Pre/Post home assessments: 
After completing out Post assessment on drawing and labeling the parts of their home, our Explorers were really excited to look at their pre-assessment and see how different the two look.
The students worked in groups to reflect what they had learned about various environments and how the shelter, transportation and needs are impacted.
Operation Hope Totes was a great success! Thank you for all your help making sure families have their needs met from the City Mission.Eco Explorers from the Cleveland Metroparks came for a visit. It was very interesting to see all the mammals that live right in our area. We had a great time guessing which fur belonged to each animal.
Our new Mandarin Schedule began this week too (wow-a lot happened in the course of 5 days!). We now have Mandarin every day. We LOVE it! We welcomed Zhou Laoshi.
