Why??

The word "why?" comes up a lot this year. It is a common word but it really gets the children thinking deeper about the process of things, how things work, how to figure out answers, and makes connections to other thoughts. Every time I can, I ask the children "Why?". They are getting much better at coming up with in-depth answers. They are reflecting on their answers and they can generate more questions they have by answering this question. Try it in your classroom and see what the kids do with being asked why...
