Inquiry-based Learning 

Do you have a question about whats in the picture? What is inquiry based learning? How can I help my child with this home? Why is it even important? Is there a right or wrong way to do it? 

Inquiry-based learning starts by posing questions, problems or scenarios—rather than simply presenting established facts or portraying a smooth path to knowledge. Simply put, let your child make discoveries on their own and ask questions. They can learn many new things while outside playing or while on a trip to grandma's house. It is important because students are allowed to bring their imagination and curiosity to learning. There is no right or wrong way to inquire about something. Just be sure to never stop wondering and bringing new discoveries to school for all to learn from.
