Wondering at work....

Last week we had our first question on our new wonder door - "What makes things glow in the dark?" This question came from wonderopolis and if you register with them they will send to your email a wonder each day. So here are some pictures of the wonder wall at work....

As the week went on not only did we get more post it notes on our door but also many people were stopping and commenting on the ideas. Our students liked it so much that one of the grade 10 boys asked if he could set this week's wonder questions which is - "What makes the world go round?" 

This is one step we have taken to be an Inquiry Library after Kath Murdoch's workshop. More will follow....

Wondering at work...

What does an Inquiry Library look like?
Make one of the glass doors dark with foreboding.....
Add a little something to the darkened door....
Slowly, slowly peel back the layers. Ask people - what do you think this is about?
Finally on Friday afternoon - leave them with this question.
What will be coming next? Is this what an Inquiry Library looks like? Well it is a start.
