Student Researchers...

The children broke down into their small groups to get back to work on their research projects on service workers in the community. We were so thankful to have the help of Mrs. Patterson, Mr. Delea, Mrs. Repple, and Mrs. Bir! They helped the children move from the "question-asking" stage, to the "research" stage. Mrs. Dufern brought in the laptops and each small group began looking online -and in books- to find new information about their topic, as well as to answer some of the questions they came up with! The children noted important facts they wanted to remember by jotting them down on a post-it note, and sticking it to their group's poster. We also learned that next week, we will have a LIVE expert visit each group! We will have a retired mail carrier, a firefighter, a librarian from the AHML, a nurse from the village, and a park district employee (who happens to be MRS. Robinson!) The children are so excited to continue their studies!
