Mr. Y's groups have the unique opportunity to take part in problem based learning. As part of this, we are learning how to use the Super 3 (K-3) and the Big 6 (3-5) to teach research skills!

1st grade -

1st grade has been investigating different natural resources and writing about how they are altered and used.  

Our problem is this: how can we teach our peers about natural resources in our community? We are looking at how we take important natural resources and turn them into things that we need everyday!
