Inferring Investigation
On Thursday, we read a story called Snow Day.
On Thursday, we read a story called Snow Day.
We used our schemas and experiences to come up with
different snow day activities. This would later help
us on our inferring investigation.
Next, we read a story about a little boy named Tim and his
Grandmother Sue. Tim woke up one morning and saw snow on the ground.
He listened to the TV and found out that there will be no school!
Every kid's dream...right! :)
So, he spent the day with his Grandma Sue while his mother
went to work. When his mother returned home that afternoon,
she did not see Tim or his grandma. She did find some "clues" into
what they did during the day though. She wrote use a letter to ask us for help.
We put on our investigating hats and away we went...

| We activated our prior knowledge about snow days. |

| The letter from Tim's mom |
 |
| The clues Tim's mother found... |
 |
| We worked in pairs to try to figure out what they did on the snow day. |
 |
| Here are some of our thoughts and ideas... |

| We designed a schedule of our ideas for the day based on the clues we received from Tim's mother. |
