Boggle Time 

We LOVE Boggle! This experience has given us a great opportunity to find words that may not be written in traditional form. We can snake all around the board and create words that are linked together. Our 2nd grade Quest kids grouped up and worked together to come up with as many words as possible. Our boggle board changes out weekly, so there is always something new. They love scoring themselves to see if they can beat their previous score. 

A Day at the Wax Museum

Our class has been learning about “Influential People of the Past.” Each student chose a special person of interest to research. The students used their research findings to put together a slideshow presentation that they would present to their families here at school. The students dressed the part that represented their person of the past. We had a wonderful time at the museum and every student did an outstanding job. We have learned so much throughout this amazing unit of study. Thank you to everyone who supported and encouraged us. It was a great success! Here are a few pictures from our Museum.

Brain Station LIVE

Each week our 2nd grade Quest students participate in beneficial brain activities that allow them to become better problem solvers, communicators, risk takers, and the list goes on. There are so many awesome things about this time we spend on brain station LIVE. Here are a few pictures & descriptions of our favorite brain games. 

Pattern Play 

These colorful block patterns really ignite the mind and allow students to become risk takers and super problem solvers. This is truly an addictive activity among our class! 

Square Up

We love square up because we get to choose the solution to our problem. Students shake the cube box and set off to slide colored tiles all around until they match the pattern on the board to the pattern in the shaker box. Lots of fun ways to ignite our little minds. 

Chocolate Fix 

Everyone loves a little sweet treat, but this sweet logic game is even better. Students use cards with small clues to set up their board. From there, you must use your brain skills to place the other chocolate pieces into the correct slot to defeat each level. I will say, "This sweet logic experience really works up an appetite!"
