Hutchinson: Who are we? Where are we starting?


Welcome to the beginning of our Inquiry Notebooking project.  Since teachers from Van Arsdale and Hutchinson will be working on this project and sharing ideas throughout the year, it makes sense that you should know each other and each other's work.

Andrew and Teresa have been working together in third grade at Hutchinson for many years.  They do not yet have a lot of experience with using science notebooks, and they are looking forward to learning more.  Andrew and Teresa have different styles but they complement each other well and are a strong team.  

Their schedule at this time:
8:50-9:10 – Morning work, Attendance, Writing Warm-Up
9:10-10:10 – Writer’s Workshop / Words Their Way (WTW) Author’s Share 
10:10-11:40 – Daily 5 Literacy Block (Reading Groups and Choice Writing)
11:40-12:25 – RECESS 11:40-12:05/ LUNCH 12:05-12:25
12:25-1:10 – Art, Music, PE
1:10-1:40 – Finish Literacy Block (Reading/Writing/WTW) 
1:40-2:25 – Science / Social Studies

Focus for Inquiry Cycle One
The team is curious about the structure of using a notebook and quality of thinking in the notebook. They are beginning with the idea of how to capture student work and thinking in a notebook.
