Mrs. Bradley's Grade 2
In Science we had a fascinating start to our Small Crawling and Flying Animals unit. The Grade 2 teachers set up stations for an Insect Inquiry. We spent 2 sessions exploring and learning about all sorts of different insects. Before we started our inquiry, we thought about what we already knew about insects and what we wonder about them. Students were given some questions as guidelines to help direct their thinking but were responsible for their own learning and proving their learnings by recording ideas in their visual journal. We discovered all sorts of interesting facts about different insects! In addition, Each student was responsible for finding one word they didn't know before to add to our "Web of Words". Ask your child to tell you what their word was. Mrs. Bradley's word was "Exoskeleton" (She already knew it, but thought it was an important word to add to the Web of Words;) Our Insect Inquiry had a variety of hands on exploration and research in books or on the iPads: ![]() This is one example of how students documented their learning. This students created a Mind Map using words and images.
