5th grade AIMers discuss knows and need to knows @ the end of the day! We learned a lot! @PioneerCrossin1 @MISD_AdvAcad

It’s GT Awareness Week in Texas 🤠 #GTawarenessweek #GTweek #giftedandtalented #whyGT @TXGifted

QUEST presents projects, works on making circuits for their projects, and engages in enrichment lab! @LeanderISD

5th grade advanced math groups use depth and complexity to help analyze complex math problems that require deductive reasoning to solve. @LeanderISD

ZOOM books in 3rdQUEST have evolved overtime. The students choose to make digital books or paper books. Paper books have to be interactive with moving parts, pop ups, and have a working circuit/light. For digital books they used AI and coded their book cover! @LeanderISD

Akin Robotics Club creates their haunted mazes to program their Sphero bots through. Their maze has to be non linear with a start, end, 2 dead ends, 2 simple machines, and fright features. @LeanderISD

Advanced math groups work to solve their partners two part story problems based on fractions. They created the problems based on the picture. This open ended and reflective learning allowed for so much critical thinking &problem solving. @LeanderISD

Tech Lesson delivered by the QUEST crew! We created a coding lesson focused on fact fluency using a Sphero Bolt! @LeanderISD

This QUESTer is so artistically and creatively gifted. He’s 8 and is such an amazing artist. They are planning a book based on a multiple meaning word that connects to one of their talents. The book has to have images that zoom in or out. @LeanderISD

These QUESTers crack me up. One is making a picture for her job poster for QUESTlandia and is researching pediatrics. Another QUESTer offered to be one of her pediatric patients for her photo. 🤩

Enrichment lab in QUEST! They chose to learn about piranhas and are now dissecting one! @LeanderISD

QUEST works with advanced math groups for grades 1-5! @LeanderISD

2nd grade QUESTers plan their environmental hero and start to take their 2D design to 3D! @LeanderISD

QUEST pushed into a 1st grade classroom to conduct a coding meets content lesson. The students worked on skip counting as well as coding. @LeanderISD #100%engagement

QUEST supports high level math in the general education classrooms by pulling their advanced math groups.

QUESTers play a game requiring inferencing skills to determine what is a skill, gift, or talent.

QUEST brains in action utilizing the creative tools!

These QUESTers analyze the depth and complexity connections in the QUEST room based on the clues.

QUEST puts depth and complexity challenges up in the hallway to encourage all students to think deeply across disciplines. @LeanderISD

There’s something special about hearing an educator say, “I LOVE PBL!” 💛 Do you love PBL? Drop a comment and tell us why—it might just inspire someone else. ⬇️ #PBL #ProjectBasedLearning #WhyILovePBL #PBLWorks
