Last Friday Eensie had his first Unit of Inquiry presentation on animals. Throughout this year the kindergarten will explore six different units of inquiry and at the conclusion they will do some sort of presentation for the parents. Units of inquiry are part of the curriculum at the school. They attempt to combine all subject areas into the study that generally takes about 5 to 6 weeks. They have one unit that will carry on throughout the year, and that is Celebrations. It is truly amazing what these children know by the end of each unit.
Eensie's first exhibition included a short speech (we're talking about 10 seconds) on bats in front of all kindy students and their parents (most mommy's were there as it was in the morning) and then he took me to his classroom where we both did activities and looked at all of the animal projects he has been involved in since the beginning of school. I am so proud of him, it nearly brings tears to my eyes when I see how much he has accomplished in just these first two months of school! 
Way to go Eensie!! You are turning into quite the inquirer and thinker!!
