Air Water and Soil - the connection

Yesterday we wrapped up our learning on how air water and soil interact and why each one is important to living things and the environment..  We reviewed our "what we know" chart and then did a walk and talk with the Coyotes.  Our job was to share what we had learned about air, water and soil.  We have used this sharing strategy before.  Half the class are posts (which means they don't move) and the other half are walkers ( they move from one person to the next).  Each time you meet a new person you share something you have learned about the topic.  Some of the guiding questions we were given were:
Why is soil important?  Why do we need air, water and soil?   How are air, water and soil important to each other?

We shared with 3 or 4 people then each partnership got a sentence strip and a felt pen and recorded their thinking.  We posted all our thinking on a chart to share with everyone.  We had a fantastic discussion about our learning.

Here are some pictures of us sharing our thinking!

 

Here is a summary of our thinking!
