Haven't made a lot of progress

 because of other things going on in life, but I have made some. 

I started setting up the notebook for the iHub curriculum. As I was reading my last post, I had an idea of how to incorporate the question for each lesson into the anchor phenomenon so they will have the information to answer the driving question for that unit. What if, we did the first page of the anchor with the I notice, I wonder, and first impressions. Then the top of the second page could be to keep track of the things we learn and the bottom half is where they answer the driving question at the end of the unit. That would eliminate the 4 big ideas because sometimes you just can't boil things down into 4 big ideas. I'm liking that. It's kind of like combining the summary table and the big ideas all into the anchor phenomenon. Cool, I'll work on that.  

I also need to work on the templates for the worksheets. I don't want them just answering worksheets, I want them writing in their notebooks and really processing the information. I just remembered that iHub has interactive notebook stuff, I should look at that. I should also look at the online stuff and see if I can utilize that. Cool, I'll work on that. 

I will be focusing on this stuff for the next couple of weeks as I want to have things outlined before we leave for Yellowstone. I'm so excited for that trip. It's going to be awesome. 

Okay, time to walk the dog and get moving on some of this stuff. I do my best work in the mornings or evenings.
