It feels like it’s been a while since we have done “What’s Going on in this Picture?”
We will continue practicing our questioning and inferring skills by observing the picture below. Please follow the prompts beneath the picture to help you make meaning of the picture. Make a comment on this blog post with your questions and inferences. I encourage you to comment on each other’s posts. Remember to provide evidence on your thoughts.

What questions do you have? (I wonder…)
What is going on in this picture? (I think… or Maybe…)
What do you see that makes you say that? (I think…. because…)
What more can you find?
Last week’s photo explained:
This photo was taken in the summer of 1968. Anti-war student protesters at the City College of New York disrupting the military club’s recruitment training.

Khan Academy, IXL, worksheets, etc.

Extension Activities (optional)
d.) Genius Hour (optional)
Continue your Genius Hour project. This is an ongoing project. If you have completed it or are just starting, here is the planning sheet to start a new inquiry:Genius Hour Planning Sheet
e.) “Giving Back” Painting
There has been a suggestion for painting supportive messages for members passing by in the community or for frontline workers. In our class, there has been mention (and photos sent) of these wonderful messages. Even though we are almost 2 months into social distancing and conditions are starting to improve, it is always nice to pass by a new, kind message.
As suggested by you in class, this week’s art project is a supportive painting project. This may include painting a kind rock (“Giving Back” rock — see more under “Literacy), a poster/paper, or any other way you wish to show your support and kindness.
f.) Outdoor Classroom Day
Thursday May 21st is Outdoor Classroom Day. This acknowledges the land as teacher and the power of play and curiosity.
Please refer to activities you can try on your own or with your family in this document: Outdoor Classroom Day Activities
Have a good day,
Ms. Daneshwand
I think that the sheep are following the human and dog to a barn because they all escaped 👌✌️
The man is Gathering up tree and bringing it to the barn or where he puts his feet the dog is blocking the road so the man’s like really come on plus I think the dog likes him.
🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑 🐩 👨
I’m I’m pretty confident on my answer cuz in India man do this so ya.
I wonder if they are blocking the road for a Reason.
I think that the guy was walking with that one dog that is on the ground laying down and then he found all of those sheep?
I think that because the guy seems to be confused and looking around.
It looks like all those sheep came from some where in the woods or way behind them it looks like a mini farm. (I don’t think I can finish my reading assignment because tomorrow and the day after and the day after where helping our cousin move on Friday and Saturday and Sunday we are helping them set up there house)
I think 🤔 the dog 🐶 is a sheepdog and is herding sheep.
I wonder why there are so many sheep 🐑 .
I wonder why they are all on the road.
I wonder why there are cars in the background.
What questions do you have? (I wonder…)
why is there sheep in the road? what country do they let sheep walk on the road?
What is going on in this picture? (I think… or Maybe…)
maybe the man is walking the sheep to the other farm?
What do you see that makes you say that? (I think…. because…)
it makes me say that because the man is walking a dog that looks like a guard dog to cross to the other farm
What more can you find?
nothing
I think the person owns all those sheep and they escaped out of their pen/cage.
Maybe the person owns the dog and it is trying to help the person lead the sheep back to their home.
I wonder why there are so many sheep.
Why are the sheep blocking the road?
🐕🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏🐏👤🌲🌲
I think that the dog is a sheep dog🐶 and all the sheep ran away from the barn and the dog and the owner found all the sheep. The dog is probably leading all the sheep home to there barn. why are there so many sheep?🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐏.
I wonder what the boy is doing. Maybe he is rescuing the dog because he looks like he is guarding the street. Thank you.
Why is the’r so many sheep blocking the road and why are so many people following the sheep. I think the sheep are following the dog and guy
I wounder if the man is going somewhere and he is tiring to bring the sheep with him.
I think the man is selling sheep and he is wating for someone.
I say that because he has a lot of sheep and it look’s like he is wating for someone.
I think the sheep are fowling that person because his hands are behind him and many he is holding some food.
I think this guy and the dog herded all the sheep and let them go because they don’t need then anymore or they are collecting the sheep to put on they’re farm so he brought the dog to heard them.🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐏🐏🐏🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🐕🐩🐕🦺🐕🦺🐶🐕🦺🐕🦺
I think all the seep are flowing him because he could have some food in his hands and because all the seep are gathering around his hands
I think the people that are in the background are blocking the road to stop the cars from flattening the sheep on the road. I wonder how the sheep got there on the road and how long they were there at the road. I think this because there’s sheep and people outside near the forest with one dog.
1. Maybe she call someone to get the sheep
2. Maybe she is trying to help the sheep
3. Maybe cars are coming and she needs to get the sheep off the road
4. Maybe the dog is there to help keep the sheep together
5. I wonder why there is so many sheep
6. I think they are finding a way to help the sheep
I think they are helping the sheep and calling them to move them off of the road so cars can go by. They could be taking a walk with the sheep because there is so much. The dog could be helping the owner with sheep.
