Writers Workshop, Service Business Quest & Maya Civ Learning (Session 5, Week 2)

Hello parents and learners! This week was a very fun-filled week. 

We did so much I barely remember but I do remember some stuff so let's get into it. 

First we're going to start with WW.  In WW we kept working on our challenges. Most people did the friendly card or letter. Some people kept doing the spelling quiz and Some of our Learners even made a cookbook! It was a very interesting week. 

This is not about WW but do you know that a lot of people earned badges!  I think we already earned five badges in total, maybe even more. 

Now let’s jump into Quest

In Quest this week we worked on service businesses. We had to do a quiz and it'll ask you questions like would you rather be outside, do you like helping younger children? And you had to answer or definitely agree or agree or in the middle or disagree or definitely disagree. Then you have to watch a video and after that you have to do a paper you need to answer some questions and then when you are done with everything you could do more work like core skills or play the game that Ashley put on Journey Tracker. There were a couple games But I'm pretty sure most people liked the one which was like a lemonade stand. The next day of quest we had to do a paper and ask people which idea they liked most for the business you want to do for the business fair. That's it for Quest now let's move on to Civ. 

For civ we learned more about the Maya. We learned that some jobs people could have were builder, warrior, hunter, merchant, or teacher. We also played a game that taught us different things about the Maya, as you went throughout the game. We had to write down five different facts that we learned while playing it. That's pretty much it for civ now let's move on to art. 

For Art we did the same thing as last time and worked on a collage. The  learners kept making collages and if they weren't done with their last one then they kept working on that one.  That's it for this week. Thanks for reading and have a great weekend see you next week!
