I loved reading about how Mrs. Legaspi was inspired to build on her students understanding of living vs. nonliving objects. After her students gave her enthusiastic yeses to the question, "Are rocks living?", she knew these students need exploration and inquiry to build their knowledge. She came up with a creative way to do this allowing the students to find objects on their playground and then use questioning and reasoning to come up with their own class-made criteria for living, nonliving, and dead objects.
