Anyway, my friends Holly Elbe and Deanna Jump creates this awesome unit and it is truly one of the most engaging units I have done!!
Of course, I added to the environment to set the stage to engage and to add my own little touches here and there!
So here’s some back ground! The day before I had our school secretary bring down a special delivery. It was chocolate chip cookies. Then three people expressed an interest in our cookies. We went to specials and the cookies were stolen. The kids cane in the next day and then room was transformed Into a detective study and a crime scene.
They listened to a video from inspector Gavin who explained their mission and then our day began!
First we had to learn about fingerprints and talk about fingerprints! I used this book to teach them.
The kids had a blast!

We returned to our room and started to investigate the fingerprints! Then we combined our fingerprint knowledge and the clues and solved the case!
