Hutchinson: 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.

Linda, Amy and Kathryn have made sense of the instructional day with some departmentalization.  They embrace the use of essential questions and post them in their classrooms to continually revisit as a part of the learning process.
