I'd also like to see something like this planned out. In my district, we need to submit lesson plans, and I'd need to submit my units for approval if I don't use Creative Curriculum.
What a lovely classroom. Please share more about inquiry with kindergarteners. Do you have any sample "units" or tips for the planning process? I would like to try something like this with my kinder kiddies, but I'm not sure how to start (first year teaching!) Thank you for all you do to support us and help us learn.
Thank you so much for joining our community! Amber begins by watching the children discover something, and then invites them to this idea of "study". You might try this exact same thing, go for a walk outside or in the school and listen when children notice- you might make a list of things they notice and wonder and then choose one to "study". You might ask what the community could do to find out more, find some read alouds, or interview around the school for information!

That's helpful to hear. We'll work on it in the future! -Christine
