Quest Independent Study

This year, Lauren was put into Quest.  It is a gifted and talented program for kids that think outside of the box.  Each year, they spend a couple of months on an independent study project.  They have to pick a topic, research it, come up with a solution, make a product, display their information on a trifold board, and present their research in a creative way to their peers.  Lauren chose to research Forest Fires.  I was so proud of her as she basically did the entire thing (including a power point presentation) with very little help from me.  Last Monday, she got up extra early to get ready...

to present to her class...
She made a game for her product...

  and Grandma & Grandpa even came to watch her presentation...
I think they were impressed!  :)

They also had a Quest Fair (similar to a Science Fair) last Thursday evening so we were able to see all of the other projects.  It was pretty cool.

Good Job Lauren!
