In science, as we explore ideas of animal classification and life cycles, we have been asking students to develop questions to guide their further investigations. As they perused a number of animal books, students developed several questions about life cycles, adaptations and habitats. Using the students' interest around interactions with humans, that arose from their questions, we have begun an exploration around, "How does an animal's identity change with human interaction?" Employing a See, Think, Wonder strategy for developing critical thinking, we asked students to observe and record ideas about this image. Responses from Saviero, AJ, Chloe, Jamie, and Brooke.
Firefly Hollow - a novel by Alison McGheeAs we have been reading the novel, Firefly Hollow, students have made predictions about what the story might be about.

Some of the words that Room 2 developed to describe Firefly Hollow are: daring, adventurous, brave, rule breaker, creative, bold, dangerous, silky, and heroic.
