In A Place for Wonder, Georgia Heard and Jennifer McDonough discuss
how to create "a landscape of wonder," a primary classroom where
curiosity, creativity, and exploration are encouraged. For it is
these characteristics, the authors write, that develop intelligent,
inquiring, life-long learners. The authors' research shows that
many primary grade state standards encourage teaching for
understanding, critical thinking, creativity, and question asking,
and promote the development of children who have the attributes of
inventiveness, curiosity, engagement, imagination, and creativity.
With these goals in mind, Georgia and Jennifer provide teachers
with numerous, practical ways-setting up "wonder centers,"
gathering data though senses, teaching nonfiction craft-they can
create a classroom environment where students' questions and
observations are part of daily work. They also present a
step-by-step guide to planning a nonfiction reading and writing
unit of study-creating a nonfiction book, which includes creating a
table of contents, writing focused chapters, using "wow" words, and
developing point of view. A Place for Wonder will help teachers
reclaim their classrooms as a place where true learning is the
norm.
