 | I'm trying something new. I have created a webquest for Organ Donation,
the Future Problem Solving Program theme for the Qualifying Problem on
February 9th, 2002, at Central High School from 2:00 P.M till 4:00.
Students need to be there no later than 1:45. Students will use
this site to complete a variety of activities.

We received the results
from the Future Problem Solving Practice Problem #1. I am
pleased to inform you that 2 of our participating teams placed.
1st Place: Cameron Alexander, Stephenie McGucken, Kacy
Jones, and Amber Whitehead
2nd Place: Philip Morris, Trey Caudle, Logan Dollar, and
Caitlin Scannell
Although the third team (Cody Pearcy, Jessica Phillips, Alia Spradlin,
and Katie Powell) didn't place, they did very well for their first
time in competing and have lots of potential.
Each team competed in different groups with 4 other teams from various
Alabama cities. This was only a practice problem; however, I am
still very proud. This competition requires a lot of research
and problem solving skills! Our kids did very well.
The students will be competing with a second practice problem in
November. The topic is Educational Options. They have
access to information on the topic.

 Field
Trip!
| We are going on a fieldtrip to Mann's
Museum and Tuskegee National Forest on October 29th. You will be
receiving a permission slip to sign. Please return it as soon as
possible. If you are a parent of a Quest 2 student and would
like to chaperone, let me know. I have a couple of spaces.
Unfortunately, parents have to pay admission to the
museum. |
|
|
| Students will be making
Microsoft PowerPoint presentations of an animal they have
chosen. Students will share their presentations with their
fellow students. Completed Presentations are displayed on students'
pages in their grade level showcase. |
| Many students have
complete brochures of themselves. I will print out each student one color copy of his or her
brochure. |
| Students will be making
video projects beginning the week of October 9th. They will need
to have 5 pictures of themselves and a videotape. Students will
write a 15-30 second caption for each picture, create a title page
with caption, and make a credit page for the end. We will
videotape each picture as the student reads the captions. |
