Wonder of the Week

In order to get ourselves organized for our animal inquiry, we sorted the animal books in our classroom.  The researchers in Room 408 wanted to sort the books into categories such as land mammals, pets, reptiles, fish, etc.

However, there were some books that they couldn't figure out and categorize.  The books about slugs, snails, octopi, jellyfish, and worms really threw them into a "cognitive knot."  This turned into our "Wonder of the Week."

This is wonderful, as it has caused them to wonder and research more to find answers to their questions.

After researching today, we added our new learning and questions to our class chart.

Some came across a commonality that none of these animals have bones...I wonder what they will discover tomorrow? 

Can you think of any more animals that belong with this questionable group?
