This morning I had a great lesson with one class of our Grade 3 students. The homeroom teacher, Rebecca, started a class blog this year and she decided this morning to show the students how to get to the blog and add their comments. She had been reading them a story from a book with some fantastic art, and as she read each page and showed the paintings she asked the students what they could see, what they were thinking and what it made them wonder about. This afternoon some of the students were able to visit the class blog and to comment using this thinking routine.
What a beautiful lesson to encourage critical thinking, reflection, and attention to detail!
