This week we were able to continue our work with Michelle from PEBC.  We focused on Chapter 8 in "Making Thinking Visible" and shared with our colleagues about the thinking routines we have tried in our classrooms.  I shared about "See, Think, Wonder" a new routine I tried in a science lesson.  We are currently working on the rock cycle so I used a picture of sedimentary rocks.  The students had some really great questions and ideas surrounding the photo-I invite you to come in our classroom and see their amazing work!  They are doing so well using their 2nd grade writing skills in each of the content areas now that Jaime and I have been focusing on this for our PCKI work.  It is wonderful to see it coming into view more and more the past few weeks.
