Our Community Research Continues!

The children were SO EXCITED to meet a government worker in the field that they have been researching! The children have been searching for the answers to the questions that they came up with in their small groups. They used the internet and they looked in books. Unfortunately, there were still some questions that they had answers to! The perfect solution was to ask an actual expert. On Friday afternoon we had these wonderful people pop in for an interview: Firefighter: Dave Bacino (Mrs. Schellinger's son-in-law!) Librarian: Julie Jurgens in the Library Media Center (she brought the bookmobile to us!) Nurse: Mary Sterrenberg (a public nurse from Village Hall) Park District: Elizabeth Robinson (Mr. Robinson's wife) Post Office: Dick Poteracki (retired mailman, also a Dryden crossing guard!) The children really dug deep and asked some great questions! We will be pooling our research with the other 2nd grade classrooms on Monday, and the kids will be sharing their research with the whole grade level next Thursday!
