We are beginning our new PBL on innovation and invention. Our driving question for this unit is "How can one idea change the world?". We began our unit by looking at a series of quotes from some famous "curious" people such as Walt Disney, Albert Einstein, and Thomas Edison. The kids began thinking about what it meant to be curious and was it okay to fail. Be sure to ask your child what they have learned about these ideas.
After spending time looking at our quotes, we went on a "Wonder Walk". The students were able to go to the Wonder Room to observe and wonder about some now common place inventions such as the light bulb and Velcro. They were able to ask questions about these inventions and were able to observe these items using their five senses.
