Monday– No school (teachers in-service)
3/5/19 Tuesday– In Quest Science, we had time to finish our graphs. The graphs are about PCB Levels in whales. After we finished the graphs, we worked on a crossword puzzle about the periodic table. In Quest Humanities with Mr. Greenberg, we received our Europe maps. We must color them in, label them, and label the oceans and seas. This assignment is due this Friday. We also each made a log question for the class. We must answer one of them as homework. In Quest Humanities with Mr. Gornto, we have a book project as a group. We each take turns making discussion questions and a log question every 80 pages of the book. The book my group is reading is Divergent. We answered our discussion questions and answered the log question.

3/6/19 Wednesday– In Quest humanities with Mr. Gornto we still continued to keep reading our books until the strict deadline which is on the 15th of March. The book our group is reading is No Hero. We also have more grammar work to do for the night what we are learning in grammar right now are participles. We each write our log questions and discussion questions to help us prepare for a major upcoming project about the
book we are reading in class. In Quest humanities with Mr. Greenberg, we did another seminar with the whole class. We first reviewed our logs and sharing what we wrote down about why the question that we chose was very deep and thorough. For the seminar, we discussed which questions the class chose most and made more questions for the questions.
For quest science with Mrs. Bruvik, we started to begin learning about the periodic table of elements. We watched and learned about a catchy song about the elements then we did a fun activity which was trying to spell out as many words as we could with the element symbols.-Jonathan

Today in quest science we did a word search to find as many elements from the periodic table of elements. The person who found the most words on the word search was Alicia Leung in section Y. (picture below)
In Quest humanities with Mr. Greenberg, we were annotating articles about how racism has been shown in movies and how have things changed. We had to annotate 3 articles to get enough information for our Socratic seminar. For Quest humanities with Mr.Gornto, we read our books and also reviewed our discussion questions and looked over our logs. We also went over our grammar books.

Today in Quest humanities with Mr.Gornto we are still our books in our literature groups and this is great to see what others think about your book. With our groups, we are all figuring out ways to best understand the book. Eventually, we will have an essay to show we understand the book. Today in Mr.Greenberg’s room we are continuing to read and annotate our articles given to us on Thursday. We are still using one of the four-note taking styles. We are to finish annotating the article by Monday so we can have our Socratic Seminar. Today my section in Quest Science we had to read and use one of the four note-taking styles learned in Mr.Greenberg’s room weeks prior. We are to take notes on the four different pages in our Science textbook for the open note Quiz on Monday. In Conclusion, we had a very eventful day in Quest. -JJ
