September 16 - The word of the week was melancholy meaning sad. The Habit Of Mind was managing impulsivity, think before you act. JJ was the book consultant. He presented I Survived the Japan Tsunami. We figured out what an engineer is and examples of engineers. We watched an awesome video of Strandbeesten, Beach Beasts. Strandbeests are the invention of Theo Jansen, they are super cool engineered beach beasts.
September 9 - Today is the first day of QUEST. The word of the week was exquisite meaning beautifully made. The book consult was Gilbert and he presented The Warriors: Darkest Night. The Habit of Mind was persist. We took a class picture, see above. We read the book Ten Birds. We had a tarp challenge. So we had to flip a tarp while everyone was standing on it. We learned about our classmates with QUEST version of four corners. We had a very long fire drill. We were perfectly quiet during the drill. QUEST was great, everyone will be back next week.
