I gotta say, my favorite student picked Wonderopolis for the month of January is Nick’s When Will Pigs Fly? The video which accompanies Wonder #766 is a treat to watch and earned a Vimeo Staff Pick award. I don’t know who is enjoying the results of our Wonderopolis research more this year, the students or me. They’re on the edges of their seats to see who is picked next to present their Wonderopolis to the class and what the new topic is.
The summaries the students wrote are in the comments section of this post.
