Our Third Grade’s recent inquiry of Where We Are in Place and Time began with the Age of Encounter where students learned about navigators discovering the new world and then expanded upon the idea of exploration through the passing of time, in which discoveries led to new understandings in regard to water, land, space, culture, economics, technology, status quo, adventure, and more. Third Grade students then selected a person who made an impact on our world and spent weeks researching to become an expert on their inspiring explorer and then came to life in a ‘Wax Museum’.
