Invitation to Mission Space

Students received their official letters today inviting them to our Quest Space Academy that will be held in class for the next month. We are so excited to begin this unit of study. Throughout this study, we will learn all about space exploration, information about each planet, conduct hands on activities, and research questions about space that we've wondered about. Here is a picture of some excited students as they received their letters.

PLE Quest is Buzzing into a New School Year! 

Our new group of 2nd grade Quest students are excited about all of the new things we will be doing in class this year. We have started off the new year with a team building S.T.E.M. activity that allowed the students to work collaboratively and decide on a strategy that would help save Fred from drowning. Communication skills were a must in this experiment, and everyone played an important role in this task. The students really enjoyed this activity and felt successful once Fred was safely inside his life vest.
