Inquiry Journeys
Welcome! Discover how Inquiry Journeys engages students and supports teachers in inquiry-based elementary social studies.
Engaging and Authentic Social Studies Learning
Think back on the way that you learned social studies…
-
Did you memorize lots of dates?
-
How much knowledge did you gain?
-
What experiences do you remember?
Inquiry Journeys is different! It helps students build deep knowledge and skills through investigation, instruction, and experience. And their learning experiences last a lifetime!

Kindergartners explore Adam Rex's School's First Day of School (one of the many read-aloud books in Inquiry Journeys) to learn how even School is nervous about the first day of school!
