This is the week third graders start to apply research skills in what I call See -Think -Wonder. Students are asked to list all the things they see when given an image. In this way students are beginning to grow building blocks that lead up to the full research experience. If we can observe or see things as they really appear, we can then start to think about why certain things are the way they are. With those two first steps we can go a step further and wonder even more about the topic. As Einstein says, "Imagination is more important than knowledge." We do need firm observation skills to really begin to wonder about the world around us.
