Nate brought a leaf into the classroom so I sat with the children and posed the question "What can you tell me about the leaf?". The responses.....
- it has dots on it (Jayla)
- it fell from a tree (Nate)
- it is shaped like a heart (Jayla)
- it has a stick on it so that you can pick it up (Sophia)
- it feels bumpy like roots (Addison)
- there are brown dots (Max)
- there are little brown dots on it because it fell to the ground and it is drying up (Addison)
I then asked "What is going to happen to it?". The responses...
- it is going to get bigger (Sophia)
- it is going to dry up and die (Addison)
