Hmmm I don't recall being curious except about boys. #5thchat

mrsseibel5th - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:06 PM EDT

No, I don't remember loving school very much. SOOO MANY WORKSHEETS #5thchat

asembroski Oct 24 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A1: My librarian helped me find resources, kind of....but I don't know that curiosity was really invested in #5thchat

yenneam Oct 24 @ 8:06 PM EDT

Ann from Colorado Springs. Anatomy/kinesiology was my "can't get enough" subject. #5thchat

asembroski Oct 24 @ 8:07 PM EDT

In reply to @julie_wenger

alford_science Oct 24 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: I grew up on a farm in IN. There was always curiosity on the farm (how things worked, body systems) My dad encouraged it. #5thchat

julie_wenger Oct 24 @ 8:07 PM EDT

I was pretty good at the worksheets. Truth be told. #5thchat

In reply to @mrsseibel5th

asembroski Oct 24 @ 8:07 PM EDT

#5thchat AND ROWS! Uggg...the rows and worksheets alone will break your soul as a young learner....

In reply to @mrsseibel5th

yenneam Oct 24 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1: I was in school during a time when my curiosity had nothing to do with the topic at hand. #5thchat

#5thchat That seems amazing! I love when parents nurture our souls!

A2: It makes me want to try it, because "sit and get" did not inspire me as a learner #5thchat

@mrsseibel5th hi there! #5thchat let's learn together!

asembroski Oct 24 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A3: We learn about what inquirers are and how we can authentically delve into our curiosities in various ways #5thchat

mmdetrick Oct 24 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A3: I find books/picture books about what they love or curious about and use @Wonderopolis #5thchat

asembroski Oct 24 @ 8:18 PM EDT

#5thchat

mrsseibel5th - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A3: this year I use @Wonderopolis to have a genius hour. I let them pick their interest, how they present, they build guidelines. #5thchat

julie_wenger Oct 24 @ 8:21 PM EDT

They send me videos, bring treasures and we honor them as a class. But also, valuing who they are as a person & what they bring #5thchat

yenneam Oct 24 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3: They get to tell me how they learn a new skill, practice, and show mastery. Their thoughts/preferences matter. #5thchat

MsShute Oct 24 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3: when Ss ask questions let them explore them - if not right then, write ?s on post-its and put on anchor chart to explore later #5thchat

asembroski Oct 24 @ 8:21 PM EDT

I will tell you - @pernilleripp and her list of picture books have changed my teaching in this way. Love this! #5thchat

In reply to @mmdetrick, @Wonderopolis, @pernilleripp

alford_science Oct 24 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3: I make it a goal to learn one thing each Ss is passionate about and then try to ask about their passion on a weekly basis #5thchat

MsShute Oct 24 @ 8:22 PM EDT

So important! #wholechild #5thchat

julie_wenger Oct 24 @ 8:21 PM EDT

We are working on co-created criteria as well. Such a powerful tool. I haven't used @Wonderopolis Thanks for the idea! #5thchat

In reply to @mrsseibel5th, @Wonderopolis, @Wonderopolis

julie_wenger Oct 24 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Yes! Choice in any way shape or form tells a person how much you value and trust them/their ideas. #5thchat

techy_teach1 Oct 24 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3: voice and choice in projects. Also, admit when you don't have the answers... research them #5thchat

yenneam Oct 24 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A4: Genius Hour - inquiry about the topic of their choice. Powerful even for those who don't take school seriously. #5thchat

julie_wenger Oct 24 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A4. The easy answer for me is genius hour. The harder is ?? bc I feel like it's more them than me. #5thchat

A4: we are just diving into our nonfiction writing unit & it’s awesome to hear about what Ss know a lot about/want to explore more #5thchat

MsShute Oct 24 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A5: worrying about if they will understand the concept (science) have to trust them and use discussions to help talk it through #5thchat

asembroski Oct 24 @ 8:35 PM EDT

The best integration happens authentically as students learn and find new questions to explore. #loveit #5thchat

In reply to @MsShute

julie_wenger Oct 24 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A5 Well, I like real experiences a lot AND hate things that aren't experiences, so I have to force ss reading and writing on myself #5thchat

cevanoff Oct 24 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A5: Time is always the roadblock. #5thchat

In reply to @asembroski

alford_science Oct 24 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A5:Biggest roadblock- Ss self confidence.It's why I learn about their passions.Once they know you believe in them,they believe too! #5thchat

yenneam Oct 24 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A5: Ss owning their learning. Agency. Some are ready for the freedom to work at their speed/interest, others abuse freedom. #5thchat

techy_teach1 Oct 24 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A5: finding PBL experiences that fit. And TIME! #5thchat

mrsseibel5th - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A5: Time..some are so slow and some want to be finished in two minutes #5thchat

julie_wenger Oct 24 @ 8:38 PM EDT

I use technology to push through what I consider dull. Journaling online > than paper. #5thchat

asembroski Oct 24 @ 8:38 PM EDT

I hear you there! #5thchat

In reply to @yenneam

asembroski Oct 24 @ 8:39 PM EDT

I think that is when having criteria for the expectation and strong examples of student work help. #5thchat

julie_wenger Oct 24 @ 8:40 PM EDT

For some, I think, it's an "unknowing". They've never been trusted w their own pace enough to know what it feels like. #5thchat

In reply to @yenneam

asembroski Oct 24 @ 8:40 PM EDT

With time, I just try to keep subjects integrated, and carve out time for inquiry. It has been a challenge this year for me though! #5thchat

A6: Time - a teacher’s archenemy! Just like with anything else - have to weave it in, it’s an important life skill #5thchat

yenneam Oct 24 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A6: It's hard! For those who are motivated, it happens easily. Others, with lots of parameters and guidance. #5thchat

julie_wenger Oct 24 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A6. easier w ss who aren't pulled for other things. those who would most benefit from some personal think time, don't hv the luxury #5thchat

asembroski Oct 24 @ 8:44 PM EDT

I think when you look at it as a life skill, and place importance on it, you make time despite all the other "stuff". Great point! #5thchat

In reply to @MsShute

asembroski Oct 24 @ 8:45 PM EDT

That is such a big issue- and so many of our kids who are pulled need to explore their curiosities and passions! #5thchat

Do you do genius hours in lower grades and passion projects in upper grades? #5thchat

In reply to @julie_wenger, @alford_science

julie_wenger Oct 24 @ 8:52 PM EDT

Problem for me is I think of inquiry based as a long term project when it's probably more like day to day. A staying curious model.#5thchat
