Unit of Inquiry-We will start to consider Images this week. The kids will
engage in provocations to help them start thinking about what images are and
how we use them, and how they are used around us each day. We will begin
thinking about images that show our learner profile characteristics and how
that can help us understand and explain the learner profile qualities.
