It was time to launch a new lesson for Kindergartners at Hopewell last Friday! The focus of the launch was around finding key details in a text, and how to do so!

This has proven to be a really hard standard in kindergarten because they have a hard time asking powerful questions about these key details. For the launch, Hopewell Kindergarten teachers told all of Kindergarten they were going to library to hear a Sarah Weeks (PV visiting author) book prior to her visit next week. When they got there, our librarian Mrs. Bachtel, couldn’t find the book! The teachers then came out dressed as Question Detectives and used powerful questions to help the students solve the mystery of the missing book.

This lesson was used to help channel the focus for the remainder of the school year on practicing what powerful questions are, and how they make you better readers. Great job challenging young minds Hopewell Kindergarten!
