Quantum Parent Bulletin #25

Each year, our district honors one outstanding writer per grade level from each school as part of a Writing Celebration. Congratulations to the following students from Quantum Academy who were recognized last week for being amazing authors. We are so proud of them!!

• Elijah L. - 4th Grade
• Matthew B. - 5th Grade
• Laynee G. - 6th Grade
• Mia L. - 7th Grade
• Kaylee K. - 8th Grade

At Quantum, we are incredibly proud to be a Project-Based Learning (PBL) school where students learn through hands-on, inquiry-based lessons and activities! Through this hands-on approach, students master academic standards while developing critical soft skills like collaboration, problem-solving, and public speaking.

This week, we visited Mr. Gombert’s 8th grade class where students are currently learning about immigration and the history behind it. As part of the lesson, students were asked to create a family tree in a non-traditional format and present it to their classmates, sharing their unique family histories and stories in interesting and creative ways. Check out a few samples of the students' work below!
