Comment by Donna Sabala on October 12, 2011 at 9:29pm: Just watched the video companion to this book! WOW! The very next week a teacher and I started to implement inquiry circles. I also incorporated a CIRCLE MAP since this was a 2nd grade group new to inquiry circles. The kids were so into finding information. I don't think they really understood they were working. Now reading the book to do a better job with this for the next group of kids!

Comment by kathie crosby on September 5, 2011 at 7:32pm: I love the Teacher's Go-Bag (p. 79). As I travel inside classrooms it may be neccessary to have a few resources to instantly access if opportunity arrises. I'm very part time and need to capitaize on the time I get, great tips throughout this book.

Comment by Barbara Jansen on December 11, 2009 at 11:06am: Hello, All! I just received the book in the mail. Can't wait to dive in. Hopefully, our enthusiastic participation will have an impact on the authors and the second edition will have multiple index entries for school libraries and librarians, as this one doesn't!

Comment by Beth Friese on December 10, 2009 at 12:11am: glad you all are here! Be sure to join in some of the early discussions we are having. Also, if you are on twitter and I haven't added you to the twitter list yet, DM me at librarybeth

Comment by Andrea Walker on December 7, 2009 at 8:28pm: Interestingly we had a whole school staff meeting on this topic recently. We brain stormed what inquiry looks across the 3 programmes we offer for 5 to 17 yr olds. Basically we agreed that inquiry should be transformative and lead to deeper understanding and knowledge.

Comment by Deb Schiano on December 2, 2009 at 8:53pm: I'm looking forward to learning with all of you!
