Our questions!

The students were split into groups and had the opportunity to ask three questions that they were interested in.  Then the students wrote their questions on our classroom blog.  Here are the questions we came up with!  If your class has any questions about rural Manitoba, Canada we would be happy to answer them!

From our Classroom to Yours

Over the past few weeks my class has been doing an inquiry into ways of life in Asia.  The students were placed in groups and each group selected a country to study.  The students researched their questions about culture, the natural environment, and the quality of life of people living in Asian countries.  As an attempt to continue the inquiry process we are have the opportunity to continue to ask questions to a class in Taiwan.  Although we felt Skype would be the most engaging option for the students to communicate the time difference made this quite difficult!  We are excited to learn more about life in Asia by using our classroom blog!
