I Wonder - Clues

This week's I Wonder was truly a wonder and it had both students and teachers guessing. We had clues on the Morning Announcements for three days. Here are some of the clues:

• It is from an animal that is a carnivore.
• This animal has no teeth when it is an adult.
• This animal lives in the ocean.
• It came from an animal that is also called "broadbill".

Today, Friday, the announcement was made that it was the bill of a swordfish. I borrowed it from my best friend who knew kids would love it. Did you know that the bill is really the upper jaw of a swordfish? Well, I've learned that fact and others this week. Quite a few kids guessed what it was - even without the clues!

The Wonder Table has been such fun this year as we share and learn more about our world. If you look at the background of the photo, you'll see the next items for the Wonder Table. The nests were saved by Carol Driver who is a former librarian at Charlestown School. She brought the nests to our school and Mrs. Truppi knew exactly the best spot for displaying them. Thanks to Mrs. Driver and Mrs. Truppi for our next Wonder Table. Thanks to friend Karen for the swordfish bill!
