Using Wonderopolis in Kindergarten: One Teacher's Thoughts

Using Wonderopolis in Kindergarten: One Teacher's Thoughts | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
Find education news, teaching strategies, lesson plans, activity ideas and more on the WeAreTeachers blog. Featuring posts by guest bloggers and teachers.
Beth Dichter's insight:

If you have not checked out Wonderopolis it worth your time to head over and see the resources available. They post a Wonder of the Day (and as of this writing they have 1328 wonders).

You will find a question and a movie, but that is just the beginning. There are additional questions, a Wonder Gallery, Wonder Words (as in vocabulary), Try It Out (ideas for follow-up work), Still Wondering (additional resources), Test Your Knowledge, and a Wonder What's Next (a teaser for the following wonder).

Although this was written for a Kindergarten class the site allows you to search and provides Wonders appropriate through high school.

The idea of using this as a tool for writing is one that could be used in any classroom, and you could focus it in specific areas or change it daily.

And if you are looking for some Wonders that are appropriate for younger grades you may want to check out this post by the author: 50 Great Wonders from Wonderopolis for Primary Grades.
