Monday- In Quest Humanities on Monday we have been working on the beginning of our projects. One of the projects we are working on is called the spotlight project. In Mr. Greenberg’s class we are all researching a person or a organization that has made a difference in the world, or is making a difference in the world. In Mr. Gornto’s class we have been reading a book called “ The Giver”. The Giver is about a community that is not like ours. Everything is the same in that community, the community lives without conficts, inequality, injustice, and none has any opinions, but one boy named Jonas. He is different from the rest of them.
In Quest science we are working on our S.E.E project. Ms. Bruvik gave every student two elements from the periodic table. Our first steps were to research and study our two different elements. -Maisah
Tuesday– In Quest Humanities on Tuesday we continue working on our projects. For our spotlight projects we had a due date. We had to have some of our sources shared to Mr.Greenberg by the 16th of April. Mr.Greenberg wants us to stay on task for our due dates. A lot of us started working on our outlines and rough drafts that day. In Mr. Gornto’s class we were analyzing and annotating the book we were reading in class.( The Giver) This is a great book to talk about. The Giver makes our minds think about how the world isn’t so bad as we think it is. It shows us that we shouldn’t take little things like music, singing, dancing, love, and opinions for granted.
In Quest Science we do some more research about the two elements we were received and start sketching our work on paper. Ms.bruvik wants us to become very familiar with our Elements, so she wanted us to have so many different facts for our Elements. While some people were still researching, some were creating the boxes we need for our Periodic table project.

Wednesday– In QUEST Science, all sections (X,Y,Z) continue working on our SEE project. This year, the seventh grade has been working on our periodic table. Ms. Bruvik wants us to have life-sized periodic table features, each seventh grader was either still researching there element, or they start preparing/setting up to start their life-sized periodic table.Some students started preparing their boxes, and covered them with colorful paper, and maybe a 3-D image, among other things.On Thursday,April 25th they will be displayed

In QUEST Humanities, all sections have been working on our Spotlight essays. These essay were mainly written in Mr.Greenberg’s class. The essays are focused on an event or person. We then write a essay based around how these people changed something about our world in a positive way. On Wednesday Mr.Greenberg made sure we all took notes on our event, person, or organization. He wanted us to make sure we had our outlines in order and that we really dug deep into our information. In Mr. Gornto’s class, we have been reading and annotating The Giver. We have also been talking about a “Utopia” and what that could mean. Also the normal participle classwork and English is incorporated.

Thursday– This Thursday on April 18 we have been continuing many activities. We have just started The Giver earlier this week with Mr. Gornto. We have been reading by ourselves at home but when we come to class we participate in very engaging discussions. Mr. Gornto usually starts us off with a question and we discuss that and it leads into another topic. In Mr. Greenberg’s class we have been researching for our Spotlight Project. It is a project where we research a worldwide problem and someone who is doing something about it. Some of the main problems that I have seen among my fellow students are animal abuse or hunting, lung cancer(smoking and vaping), and sports injuries. In Mrs. Bruvik’s science class we have been making a project for our science and engineering expo. We as an entire grade are making a giant periodic table as part of a game. This was a very exciting and productive week for 7th Grade Quest.
