9/23/21 - Today in QUEST we read The Book of Three. We learned all about the kids in our class. We learned about all of the different jobs in our QUEST class. The Gong Ringer job seems like the best job to have. We learned about Mrs. McElhinney and she really likes her pets. Overall, QUEST was an awesome day.
9/30/21 - Today we learned about systems and we got into groups and wrote about them. First, we read the book Zoom!. Zoom! was about how systems work. It was really cool and it showed how one thing can be made out of lot's of little things. We played the video for Zoom!, but it kept skipping to the middle and Mrs. McElhinney read the book to the video and we finished it! We created a mind map for The Book of Three, and we wrote down all the characters that are in the book. For a fun break, we played the floor is Lava from Youtube, it was a blast! By Kahlan and Finn
October 14, 2021 - Today we learned about the Industrial Revolution and we looked at lots of photos. We went into groups that we are going to have for the rest of the Industrial Revolution. We wrote about what people were doing in the photos that we looked at. We also read The Book Of Three. After read aloud we watched a video about letters a how you can flip them and make new creative things. Then we wrote what we like to do in the rain. - Kahlan Munson & Anuj Singh
October 21, 2021 At the start of each day we all have silent reading time. Today, we finished our systems . We started making a scene with the first letter of our name. We read another chapter of Book of Three, and we did more on our Book of Three mind map. We have a new member of our Q.U.E.S.T. and her name is Annaliese. At the end of QUEST, we had Finn share his book with the class. Today was a great day, awesome day. As our principal always says " Make it a great day, or not the choice is yours." Written By Hannah Zajesky and Kahlan Munson.
October 28, 2021- today what we did in quest was first we came in and start reading our books and what we did next was each group took a piece of paper that had a habit of mind on it and we had to make a skit featuring our habit of mind and after we preformed the skit the other students had to guess which habit of mind we were featuring then we did a project about systems. after that we did a read aloud on our book which is called the book of three and then we worked on turning our letters into something creative today was awesome. By Sasha Belyansky.
11/4/21 Today we watched a video about thinking about your thinking where they show us why you should think about your choices. After that we read a poem and found words that were hard to explain in our opinion and found the definitions, synonyms, antonyms and more! Today we read chapter 5 of The Book of Three and learned more about Queen Achren. We did a Mind Map and updated our characters descriptions. After that we read articles about the Earth, Powerful Storms,and Wars! Today was an awesome day. Anuj
12/16/21 Today we learned about the three words of the day; repose, allude, and amiable. We learned The Habits of Mind, Creating, Imagining, and Innovating. Also we chose our topics and the groups we will be working in for the Industrial Revolution Project. We read another chapter of The Book Of Three and worked on our mind maps. Then we worked on our FOFE letters, some kids played Challenge 24, packed up, and went back to Shatekon.

1/6/22 Today we did things a little different then normal. Instead of reading we talked about what we were going to do. Then we chose an article to read. It was ether animals (conservation) or sports (climate change). After we read the article we got a green piece of paper and wrote about what we read. Sadly, we did not have time to do read aloud this week. I hope we can get to it next week! And like my principal says, Make It A Great Day Or Not The Choice Is Yours. Kahlan and Finn
1/13/22 Our word of the week is Livid.Today we did get time to read our story (Book of Three).Today we talked about taking responsible risks. We wrote more about our articles and went onto the blue page to write statements. After that we partnered up, wrote our questions, and researched our questions about the industrial revolution. After that Kahlan and I wrote this. This week was a blast and hopefully so is next week. And like my principal says Make It A Great Day Or Not The Choice Is Yours. Ryan & Kahlan
1/20/22 We started the day with 15 minute reading. Then we had snack and Mrs.McElhinney read the Book of Three. Next, we did the seminar about Climate Change affecting Sports and Animal Endangerment and discussed questions about the seminar. Finally, we did some research on our Industrial Revolution project.
1/27/22 Today we started off with 15 minutes of reading. Seth gave a great book consultant on The Wild Robot Returns. We went over the Habits of Mind - Think Interdependently and the word of the week was din. We read the next chapter in The Book of Three - chapter eleven - and it looks like Gurgi might not make it. We spent most of our time researching our questions for the Industrial Revolution. Colin
3/3/22 - Today we started our engineering project. We drew pictures of an engineer at work. Then we explained what engineers are, with groups. Then we read The Book of Three and we read a poem about grapefruit and learned different types of poetry. Today was a great day at QUEST. We had a good day. Lucas Slater and Finn!

3/10/22- Today we started off with our engineering packets. Then, we split into groups, not by choice, for habits of mind and shared them. Then we got into our Grapefruit packets and split into groups, by choice, once again. We read Whoosh and then we ended the day with The Book of Three chapter 13. ~ Hannah and Ryan - see you next week sharks !!!
3/17/22 - So when we came in, we went straight to our books for silent reading time. After that, we were assigned a challenge to build a tower that can hold a weight for 30 seconds and it was a competition for the sturdiest and the tallest. To do this challenge, we had to use all of the 50 index cards in only 15 minutes. The winners where Sasha B, Lucas S., and Hannah Z. We wrote our reflections for our towers and what we would have done next time. Then we worked on Grapefruit and we striped it to it's roots of non-descriptive words. We looked at other poems and underlined descriptive words and circled words that yelled out personification. Then we read The Book of Three. By: Annaliese. L and Sasha. B
3/23/22 Today our book consultant was Lucas and his book was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and he gave it 5 stars. Lucas just started the Harry Potter series. The word of the week was grotesque which means distorted or physically odd looking. Then we planned what our topic would be for our "Grapefruit" poems. We researched five different engineering fields and began creating Google Slides so we can teach other kids about our field.
4/7/22 We didn't have QUEST last week because of state testing. Hannah and Sasha were book consultants. Today we wrote our rough drafts of our descriptive and personification poems. Then, we planned for our civil engineering build. We read The Book of Three and Gurgi found Hen Wen!
4/14/22 Today we started out with reading our books and then Seth gave a great presentation on book consultant. Then we continued to design our toothpick and packing peanuts tower. First, we planned and made a quick sketch of our plan. Then we spent an hour building our tower and Anuj, Colin, and Lucas's stood up the best and was the best tower even though the others were really good too! (All were equally good!) After that, we did a reflection and we are about to leave. -Anuj And Annaliese

5/12 This week was an amazing experience, and such a terrific adventure. This included younger kids, fire drills, the book of three, and BOLTS, which is basically a programMable, robotic sphere. This was and is a great time to bond with others and learn about software engineering and how it is a hard job to be a software engineer. -Abe Reynolds and Sasha Belyansky.
5/19/22 Today we read our books for a while and then Colin gave a great presentation on his book for book consultant. Then, we did our seminar packet and read the Book Of Three while eating our snack. After that, we watched multiple engineering videos and made a mind map about two types of engineering. Then, we packed up and went home. - Anuj
