Reagan QUEST

We did @breakoutEDU w/ our 1st graders this week & my nieces made a video for me to go w/ this unit. My oldest niece had study hall during 1st grade today so she was able to join our zoom call as the PUZZLE MASTER! 1st graders couldn’t believe it! #reaganrays #1lisd #SoFun

Socratic Seminar with our 3rd graders during QUEST today about whether lunch should be longer or not! Great discussion and lots of ideas being shared! It was an interesting dynamic with both in person and virtual friends, but they rocked it! #reaganrays #1lisd

Thank you to 3rd grade for allowing us the opportunity to pull extension groups today! We had so much fun with Mystery Biographies and put our thinking to good use! #reaganrays #1lisd

Thank you to Mr. Belknap for joining our 3rd graders virtually today to share about your work in the forensics department with the @Austin_Police to get our students excited about our mystery unit in QUEST! #reaganrays #1lisd

We love having guest speakers in QUEST! Thank you Mrs. Lear for joining us to share about your experiences working as a zookeeper at the Dallas Zoo! Our 2nd graders will start creating their own zoo habitats and your knowledge is super helpful! #reaganrays #1lisd #pajamaday

We did some esti-mysteries in class w/ our 1st & 2nd graders today. Each clue is revealed one at a time! They LOVED these. Here’s the website by @SteveWyborney where we got them. #GetKidsThinking TY @jlsarmstrong2 for showing me these! #reaganrays #1lisd stevewyborney.com/2019/09/51-est…

We asked our virtual 4th grade students for their ideas on how to make Rube Goldbergs work at home this year, we brainstormed together, & then they came up with super creative ideas we've never seen before! #VirtualLearningForTheWin #Reaganrays #1LISD #lisdQUEST

2nd graders presenting to their peers both in person & at home! We thought learning how to navigate presentations in this new hybrid model might be challenging, but our students rocked it! I 💗 that they get to connect with each other no matter where they are! #reaganrays #1lisd

First graders brainstorming modes of transportation with @lambert_kellie @ReaganQUESTlisd and practicing fluid thinking & sharing! So impressed! #reaganrays @ReaganElemCP #1LISD

We’ve been learning about skills, talents, & gifts in QUEST this week. Today we played a fun game using @PearDeck to see if our students could guess #reaganrays talents & gifts! We had a lot of fun in person & virtually learning about the gifts of others! #1lisd #ShareYourGifts

We’re building relationships with students every day (even in a virtual setting)! Today we learned one of our 1st graders named her two loose teeth, Lucy and Lucille! #reaganrays #1lisd #CreativeKids #TheyMakeUsLaugh

Join us tomorrow for our Volunteer Kickoff Meeting. Help grow the entrepreneurs of tomorrow! 6:00 - email dana.jones@leanderisd.org for the link.

Our Reagan QUEST meeting was only supposed to be 30 minutes, but 2 hours later, we're still planning, hanging out, and talking! #WeMissEachOther #ReaganRays #RaysUnited #1lisd #DreamTeam

A student is working on their presentation and told me they didn’t like that the cat was just running in place, so they used the animation tool on google slides to make it run off the screen. #reaganrays #1lisd #TechNatives

1st graders discussing what animals they see on our “Challenge For All Wall.” The students love when Mrs. Leury puts up new puzzles for them to solve! #reaganrays #1lisd

Kindergarteners working on painting their clay sea creatures for their independent studies projects #reaganrays #1lisd

Kinder QUEST Initial Art #reaganrays #1lisd

One of our students decided to use the “If...Then” tool for his independent study project on the Titanboa and what would happen if it still existed today. We love seeing students try out new CI tools to organize their thinking. #reaganrays #1lisd

We love having the @IncubatorV students visit our classroom! Today they are surveying students to collect data for their product. #reaganrays #1lisd

We were super excited to show the #KVUE news story about the Incubator & Accelerator classes at @VistaRidgeHS to our 5th graders today. Students from both VRHS classes had come to #reaganrays to speak to our 5th grade QUESTers earlier in the year! #1lisd kvue.com/mobile/article…
