The following was reposted from Debbi Wallace’s blog during their unit of inquiry centered on “Where We Are in Place and Time.” Mrs. Wallace is one of our Gr 3 teachers.
Third graders have been amazed by Sir Ernest Shackleton. His commitment to his goals, his courageous journeys, and his leadership skills have given us a unique perspective with which to view exploration. Today we enjoyed sharing his story and our own thoughts about him with our parents. In understanding why he took the items he did off his crumbling ship, we learned what a thinker he really was! The children will continue to compare his story to other explorers, to our own class exploration, and then reflect on his inquiring spirit as they design an exploration of their own!
