Quest students are embarking on the road to INDEPENDENT RESEARCH.  They will be investigating ideas and engaging in product development. Students will learn more about work habits, attitudes, and goals as they pursue their individual interests.

On the road to discovery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Research projects due on May 12th.

QUEST SERVICE PROJECT

 

Our goal is to make a “difference” in the lives of thousands of orphans in the devastated country of Rwanda. 

 

 We brought in 3 boxes of school supplies that are being delivered to Rwanda.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A BIG THANK you to Paul Vasquez, Nicholas' mom, for sharing with us about her trip to Rwanda last summer.  She told us about the people, conflicts, reconciliation, and economy of that small country in Africa. We even got to hear some music from there.

She is excited that we have chosen Rwanda for our service project.

School supplies are coming in....it's exciting to see the students wanting to share with the students in Rwanda.

A big THANK  YOU to Mr. David DePoyster for coming to Anna's class and sharing some amazing Greek Mythology stories!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mrs. Anna Clift shared her stories of living in Greece as a child.  Is there a Walmart in Greece???

Mrs. Clift has even been to Mount Olympus, which is always snow covered.

 

She also shared about the school day in Greece.   How interesting that they all go home for lunch!  Would you like that?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Do as the Spartans do!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We learned that the blue on the Greek flag stands

 

 for the water that surrounds the country.  The

 

white represents the sky, and the cross stands for Christianity.

 

How is that different/or the same as our United States flag???

Way to go !!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Put your THINKING CAPS on!!!

 

 

 

A work crew of 3 people requires 3 weeks and 2

 

days to do a certain job. 

 

How long would it take a work crew of 4 people

 

to do the same job if each person of both crews

 

works at the same rate as each of the others?

 

Note:  each week contains six work days.

 

 

 

Suppose today is Tuesday.

 

Question:  What day of the week will it be 100

 

 days from now?

 

 

 

I have four 3 cent stamps and three 5 cent stamps.

 

Using one or more of these stamps, how many

 

different amounts of postage can I make?

 

 

 

Find the sum of the counting numbers from 1 to

 

25 inclusive.

 

In other words, if S=1+2+3+...+24+25, find the

 

value of S.

 

 

 

In a store, pencils have one price and pens have

 

another price.  Two pencils and three pens cost 78

 

 cents.  But three pencils and two pens cost

 

 72 cents.

 

How much does one pencil cost?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Suppose you know that there are ten black, ten navy

 

 

blue, and ten green socks in your drawer.  The room is

 

 

dark and you cannot turn on a light.  What is the least

 

 

number of socks that you must take out of your drawer

 

 

to be certain that you meet each of the following

 

 

conditions.

 

 

 

a.  You have a pair of the same color.

 

 

 

 

b.  You have a pair of black socks.

 

 

 

 

c.  You have one pair of each color.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Research here we come!

 

 

What type of poetry will we write?

 

Diamante, Quatrain, Eights, Tanka???

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Way to Go, Alexis
