September 22 - The habit of mind for the day is Questioning and Posing Problems. The word of the day is wistful, meaning having sadness or a pensive mood centered on something good in the past. The book consultant was Mia. She present J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Today we watched a video on Strandbeesten and read a book about Lonnie Johnson and his super soaker!
September 15- Today we drew pictures of engineers at work and explained it. Our vocabulary word today is melancholy. The habit of mind was managing impulsivity. We started last man standing which is when we write stuff about ourselves on a note card and eliminate people in small groups, if they don't have the same traits. We had a fire drill that seemed to last forever.

September 8 - Today was the first week of QUEST. We worked together to flip a tarp with all of us standing on it. We had snack, some of us did. We learned about the routines in QUEST. The word of the week is exquisite and the habit of mind was persist. We played four corners to get to know each other. QUEST was fun.
