Wonder Window

We have been studying Albert Einstein (and have of course noticed his hair):

We read a few books about Einstein and his life as a scientist.  

We learned that he studied light, sound, and space...just like we will this year!  He is a reader, a writer, a mathematician, a scientist, and a researcher, but most of all--a thinker.  

When we read On a Beam of Light we learned that he was very unique.  He didn't speak until he was almost four, and started wondering about our world when his father gave him a compass.  He asked LOTS and LOTS of questions--so many that his teachers thought he was trouble.  ;)

He is a perfect person to study for LEADS because he is so full of questions.

Here is a short video so you can see him in action:

One of our notebooks is designated as our "Think Book" and his picture is on the front. 

Today we wondered about our world and wrote down our wonders on sticky notes.

Once we completed a wonder, we posted it on our Wonder Window.

We have so many wonders!

Eventually we will use our Genius Hour to try and answer some of these great questions!

What are you wondering about our world?
