Engineers in the Making 12-17-18

Over the last several weeks, QUEST students have listened to a read aloud of the book Twenty-One Elephants and Still Counting about the construction of the Brooklyn bridge and learned about different types of bridges constructed throughout history.  Now they have become teams of engineers constructing their own bridges using nothing but 200 popsicle sticks and glue that will need to support a 5 lb. weight for lower grades and a 20 lb. weight for upper grades.  Can they do it?  We will find out when we test them after the holidays!

The Kids Who Just Kept Drawing 12-13-18

Mrs. Thomas' 3rd grade students visited the library and enjoyed a read aloud of 2018-2019 Texas Bluebonnet nominee Keith Haring: The Boy Just Kept Drawing by Kay Haring.  Then students got together to create their own mural to decorate the halls of the school!
