Let parents know the agenda for the evening – they will be taken through an inquiry, going through the same steps as their children would go through, but at warp speed. What we do tonight in a little under an hour would typically take 6 weeks, with a variety of tasks and learning engagements. Through the discussion if parents have question, attempt to answer, but if not, leave on the Wonder Wall and we will address at a later time – either through class blog or if it is just a specific questions pertaining to an individual, through an email.\n
