Answering Our Own Questions

2/2/2021

 
It's always Mrs. Brinza's favorite time of exploring a phenomenon when students get to answer their own questions!  We've spent MONTHS figuring out where our dirty water goes and where it comes from when we go to drink/use it!  Working in breakout rooms today, students answered the questions they asked back in September.  While there were lots of smiles and giggles, our big take away was that we've figured out a lot and have grown a TON!  Way to go 5th grade!

    While I love the ocean, Lake Michigan is just as beautiful!
