Van Arsdale: Who are we? Where are we starting?


Welcome to the beginning of our Inquiry Notebooking project.  Since teachers from Van Arsdale and Hutchinson will be working on this project and sharing ideas throughout the year, it makes sense that you should know each other and each other's work.

This is Adam's first year in Jeffco after teaching in Aurora for several years. Sherri is in her second year at Van Arsdale after her time as an instructional coach.   Ashlee is a second year teacher and has significant substitute experience.  
At this time, here's their daily schedule:

Focus for Inquiry Cycle One
The team would like to focus on how to incorporate more inquiry into social studies using existing structures within the classroom. They want to deepen student learning and engagement through purposeful use of the Inquiry Notebook.
