Why is it important to wonder?

October 9, 2025

Explorer Class

Explorer students are practicing active listening and sharing their

ideas about our first read aloud book, The Wheel in the School by Meindert DeJong. Observing students track the conversation, and provide ideas afterwards about what we can work on as a group to continue to have good discussions. One discussion group excelled in using names, and another group excelled in making efficient decisions about which questions to explore. Because the plot of the story is driven by the wondering of students in the book, one question we discussed was "Why is it important to wonder?"

In Fiber Arts, we often start each class with a story. Reading first thing not only sets the tone of class it helps to bring seasons, themes, or characters to life. Having the opportunity to transform what we read into a mixed media art project deepens understanding as we build skills. Students receive a different dimension to learning beyond just audio or visual senses by adding tactile sensory learning through creating art. Since art making is a tactile, and multi-sensory experience it helps expand cognitive processing and creative thinking.
