A week that started with wonder and awe. While we may not have a solar eclipse every day, we can find moments of awe for ourselves and our students. This article from Greater Good talks about all of the benefits of awe. While many of us find that outside in our mountains and rivers, I challenge you to find some moments of awe in your classrooms. It's one of the best parts of working with small humans-- they are almost constantly in awe!

The objective and scope of the work are indicated below.

Elementary InquirEd General Feedback
Teachers, please take five minutes to answer some questions about InquirEd on this form. Audra Pickett is putting together a working group for InquirEd support at each grade level. She would like to know what's going well, any challenges you're experiencing, what we can improve, and ways you're enhancing the Inquiry Journeys. Please also indicate ways you might be addressing challenges implementing the Inquiry Arcs. For example, if there's a reading in the lesson you've found online, are you supplementing with audiobook options? If you have pictures of the Inquiry Products you and your class have created, please upload images at the end of this form. If you would like to complete this form as a grade-level team, please do so! Thank you so much for taking time to share your input.
