We have started learning about the Geo-Inquiry Process too! We are exploring the question of why do we not have a lot of trees at Allen Brook. I just finished an online course with National Geographic and it focused a lot on how young children become explorers and geographers through this process. Stay tuned as we begin to learn about the past, present, and future of tree life!

 1. See a problem 2. Think  3. Talk 4. Write

Some of our ideas to write persuasive pieces were: family, kindness, empathy, care about the world, water, beaches, ocean, waste, penguins, care about the land, Global Goals, electricity, and to care about all animals.
