A Creative Week in So Many Ways!

Reflecting back on the pictures from the week, the attitude creativity jumped right out.  We started the week with our visit from Rosemary Wells, had a journey to Playhouse Square to see the remarkable play "Me and My Shadow," had our exciting Book Character Parade and ended with our Leaf Projects.      What a fun and CREATIVE week!  

Rosemary Wells Stops By CIS:

Yoko was really based on three girls.

Presenting a gift!

She shared with us the creative process that is involved in writing and illustrating her amazing books and expressed how every book she writes is based on something that she knows about.  She may change it up a bit, but the idea is there!

Ask your Explorer what she does with rice.  What a great idea!

Our Journey to Playhouse Square:

We were so lucky to see the play "Me and My Shadow."  It was very interesting to see what could be done with lights, our bodies, bags and just two people.  We were all captivated!

Our Book Character Parade:

We certainly were introduced to a lot of interesting books and characters.  Each Explorer was given the opportunity to share their book and which learner profile attribute best represents their character.  It was great to hear such remarkable explanations!

Our Leaf Sorting Projects:

Wow!  

Here is just a sample of the fantastic projects:  

Students are still presenting their work in most classes and doing a fantastic job! We will continue to showcase these projects on the blog over the next few weeks.  




Unit of Inquiry Investigations:


 We have been uncovering our next Unit of Inquiry this week.  We have worked with various materials, investigated books and maps and shared pictures that are being brought in from home. 

Ask your Explorer if they know what it is yet.  Do they know the theme? Has their class uncovered the Central Idea?  Key Concepts?  What are they hoping to learn?  

Thank You Mystery Reader!

That smile says it all!!
