Can I just say how stinkin' excited I am that I just finished making this inquiry unit!! It is awesome for measurement skills especially area and perimeter. My kiddos love inquiry units! They promote creativity, cooperation, exploration and allow them to learn the concept through real-world experiences.This unit is a week long and includes everything you need for your students to create a home blueprint.

With all of the negativity in this world lately I was so fortunate to attend a PD yesterday that was inspirational, uplifting and gave me so many awesome ideas for my classroom! At the same time, it can be very overwhelming. I now have about 500 things that I want to start doing. First of all, I am totally changing the way I do novel studies. One of the presenters at the PD was Kate Roberts, author of A Novel Approach. I cannot wait to get her book in the mail! She was amazing! I looked at my coworker while Kate was speaking and said "we're starting this on Monday". It has completely changed the way that I am going to approach novel studies and seems like exactly what I needed. If you haven't heard of this book and teach grades 4 and up... I would say give it a go!
