Great Books Consultant Visits WES

On Tuesday, March 11, Mr. Kriko Michaels with the Great Books Foundation visited Waterman for a day full of Shared Inquiry and Directed Note Taking for many of our 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders. Mr. Michaels taught lessons in a number of classes, observed students participating in shared inquiry discussions, and provided professional development after school for teachers.
