Wonderopolis

One website that I've recently become obsessed with is Wonderopolis. This website posts a new "wonder" each day. I've already made plans to replace my daily "Do Now" journal entree with one of these wonders at least once a week. Although some are rather silly, such as "Do Rabbits Have Good Eyesight?", others really get kids thinking! When you click on the wonder, you come to a page with information regarding the wonder, suggestions of projects you can implement, and even wonder words! Wonder words are words related to the subject at hand; so for the rabbit wonder, words include eyesight, vitamin, essential, pigment, balanced, placement, predator. These words could even serve as vocabulary words for the day. One other aspect of this site that I love is that other classrooms post on the wonder as well. Through this feature, you can see what other classrooms are doing associated to the wonder. I HIGHLY recommend you all check it out!
