Bah Humbug!
Mrs. Lindsey and Mrs. Hancock’s class!
Act of Service
2nd Grade is currently learning about Christmas Around the World.
Sweden’s holiday tradition is doing service for others. This class felt like needed to do some service too.
Mrs. Hancock’s class decided to come and disinfect our Mac Lab. They were so excited and very happy about doing a service for the “whole school”!!
Way to go Mrs. Hancock’s Class!
Pancakes Anyone???
CTE kids over at Q2 have been mastering their cooking skills all week!
iPhoto in First Grade
One of the Technology Standards in First Grade is to teach them how to use a PC and a Mac Computer. By doing this our students become familiar with specifics programs in each platform.
Today, in our Mac Lab, a First Grade class came in to learn how to use iPhoto. The students started by learning how to use Photo Booth, next they took a picture of them self using the camera built in the computer, they imported the image into iPhoto and then finally Edited the image. During the editing process they learned how to crop, and change effects.

2nd Grade
As I was visiting 2nd grade, I noticed some fun stuff that I wanted to share!
Positive Reward System: When the students have good behavior, they get a hole punch in a card at the end of the day. When they fill up the hole punch card, they get to use the Ipad to take a picture of the SURPRISE QR code of their choice. Each code tells them a surprise job they get to do that week: Get the teacher’s mail, water the plants etc. They love it. Taking the picture and seeing their surprise job. What another great way to use QR CODES in the classroom!!!
5 steps closer to my fluency goals:
Since our 2nd grades are focusing on reading fluency and math fluency a lot this year. This class is encouraging them to get faster by weekly readings and math fact quizzes. Each time they improve by 5 (the magic number) or more, they get to put their name on a foot and the teacher puts it up on the wall. Blue is math and red is reading. They are doing awesome, and love to see how much they improve by or need to. 🙂
Trick or Reading
It’s that time of year again…the fourth graders put on their reading and creativity skills to bring you Trick or Reading! After all the craziness of Halloween, our students finished their week by walking through the Fourth Grade classrooms to see their pumpkin book reports!
If you aren’t sure what Trick or Reading is: The Fourth Graders choose a book to read during the month of October. They then create a poster using the story elements of the book, and decorate a pumpkin as one of the main characters, as a visual. 🙂 We set them up throughout our classrooms and have people walk through to look at the reports and have the students briefly explain their book.
Way to go 4th Grade! What a fabulous way for us to end the week!

Takin’ a trip to the Apple Store
I was very excited to go on this field trip! It was the first one of it’s kind-4th Grade went down to learn Garage Band!
Garage Band is a program that we are lucky enough to have at Quest since we are a dual platform school!
The students will be creating their own songs, including instruments of their choice and maybe even some lyrics if they want! They can do all of this in our Mac Lab or our Mac Laptops!

2nd Grade App Fun
I was invited in 2nd Grade to see one of their favorite Educational Apps in action!
I was very impressed with what I saw! Check it out!
This app is a class favorite! Check out Language Adventures from Lakeshore Learning at the App Store! It’s a great purchase for your class or for review at home!
Thanks for sharing 2nd Grade!
