Wonder Walls




If you're looking for a springboard for authentic discussion and research, beginning a "Wonder Wall" is the perfect place to start.  Students are filled with inquiry.  Often questions are asked and left unanswered.  Why does a an elephant have a small tail?  Why do skunks sleep during the day?  Why do birds fly?  I've often asked students to place their wondering on a wonder wall.   This is a fun way to jumpstart inquiry in your classroom.

Some benefits for generating a wonder wall:

  • critical thinking
  • igniting inquiry
  • extending and sharing learning
  • developing discourse with peers
  • generating unique ways to showcase learning
If you're looking for a bulletin board wall, this Wonder Wall  set has everything you need to get started.
