Family Trees
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!
