During this Phase:
Researchers at Work: Field Study
In Phase 1, our month-long explorations are launched through field experiences. These concrete “hands-on” opportunities allow our teachers to observe children’s knowledge and interests. At Creative World, sparking children’s curiosity is the foundation for rich learning opportunities.
Examples of Phase 1 Field Experiences during our recent “Move It!” theme.
During this initial phase, we begin our research by engaging in a variety of small group activities and discussions.
To wrap up Phase 1, each class votes to select the topic they will explore. This selection of our final topic gives children a voice in their learning. Our students are shaping the direction and focus of the inquiry as they now decide which questions they will explore!
