Using effective Prompts and Questions to Support Child Sensemaking...
Friday September 27, 2024 10:30am - 11:30am EDT
Library A -25 Heritage Green Pl, Greenville, SC 29601
Our anchor for this session will be the crosscutting concepts (part of the NGSS) which originate in science but are integrated into other subjects. We will begin the session whole-group discussing how to support child sensemaking through effective prompts/questions. Then, participants will rotate through centers that feature playful science tools (example: magnets, snap circuits, k'nex, etc.). They will take turns practicing using these questions from an adult role and then being the playful child. We will end whole-group with a conversation about their experiences and possible implications.
