Classroom Blog Website
As a way to promote communication and involvement, I created a classroom web log, also known as a blog. Please check the blog every few weeks for updates from our classroom and new information. Here is the web address:

Curriculum
I have divided the first semester into various units for differentiated studies. In QUEST, I have students with many different learning styles and varied interests.
August- September: Inventors and Inventions Unit (Invent America Project and WebQuest)
October: Wild Things Unit (Read and study Where the Wild Things Are and take a Saturday field trip to view the movie in theaters in late October)
November: Economics Unit (Classroom money system and sale)
