Inquiry in Grade 4 Social Studies: Reaching Beyond the Classroom

Inquiry in Grade 4 Social Studies:  Reaching Beyond the Classroom

We have been using more Inquiry and Project Based Learning in our Grade 4 Social Studies class at OES this year, with the students learning to think critically and work collaboratively as they investigated the “big questions” tied to the SS outcomes.  They were encouraged to reach beyond the classroom and access resource people outside the school in their research.  The Grade 4 Social Studies curriculum is based on Saskatchewan content and we were fortunate to connect with some excellent sources and learning partners from all around the province.
