Guest Speaker:  Michelle Hikida:  “Inquiry in the Primary Classroom”

Inquiry-based approaches to teaching and learning are a focal part of the redesigned curriculum.  Are you wondering what inquiry looks like in the primary class?  Come and see examples of ways to use student and teacher generated inquiry questions to guide big thinking and learning with children in grades 1-3.
Michelle Hikada is a primary teacher who is passionate about fostering a love of learning and big thinking.  She has taught in Richmond for 18 years and is currently teaching a grade 2/3 class.
