Abstract	The dawn of a new school year is the perfect time to reflect on last year's successes while setting even higher expectations for the upcoming year. For several years, many new-school-year resolutions have revolved around a common theme: improving the introduction of inquiry skills to young (kindergarten through second grade) learners, particularly students with limited English-language skills. This article presents easy-to-implement workshop activities that can make these resolutions come true. The activities focus on observation and communication. These skills not only help to focus young children's natural curiosity, but also build a solid foundation for future scientific learning. (Contains 1 figure and lists 1 resource.) (ERIC).
