TUESDAY: Send take-home folders to school (yellow for AM and green for PM). Please review contents of folder when returned. The iReady diagnostic results will be sent home, if you have questions feel free to reach out. We will also review the information during Parent Teacher Conferences.
PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES: If you have not yet signed up for a conference please do so. Time slots are filling up quickly. Click HERE to view the sign up.
HOMEWORK: Quest is a no homework school but you still need to be reading with your child at least 20 minutes every day. I strongly encourage you to use some of that time to practice letter names and sounds. After your student knows all their letters and sounds please focus on writing the letters and mastering the kindergarten high frequency words found in their take-home folder. Mastering those words is essential to improve reading fluency.
HALLOWEEN: We will be celebrating on Friday, October 29th. All students are welcome to wear their costumes to school that day! Both AM and PM will have a parade to show off their costumes to the grown ups. The AM class will participate in the parade with all of Q1 starting at 9am. The PM class will have their own parade for their grown ups shortly after they arrive at 11am. MORE INFO TO COME ON COSTUME GUIDELINES AND THE PARADES.

I hope everyone is enjoying their fall break! As I have mentioned, Parent Teacher Conferences are quickly approaching. They will be held on November 3rd and 4th. The 3rd(Wednesday) will be a short day for both Q1 and Q2. For HALF DAY KINDERGARTEN ONLY there will be NO SCHOOL on the 4th(Thursday). If you have older kids that attend Quest they will have a short day that Thursday. There will be NO SCHOOL on Friday, November 5th for all Quest students.
Click HERE to sign up for a conference. If you would prefer a Zoom conference, sign up for a time slot then let me know directly(through email). Otherwise, all conferences will be held in the classroom.
I know I am excited for Fall Break and I hope you are too! We have school on Monday and Tuesday, no school Wednesday-Friday.
The past week we learned a lot about shapes and how shapes are all around us! We read different books about shapes to work on connecting ideas from different texts. This week we will continue learning more about shapes and go on a virtual field trip around the world to see different shapes!
In math we worked on composing numbers within 5. We know there are many ways to make 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. We can show how to make numbers within 5 with our fingers and with our math manipulatives.
On Tuesday the fire station will be coming to visit us. Due to COVID restrictions we had to cancel the field trip to the fire station but they are kind enough to help us out and will be coming to us and giving a short presentation.
Due to this week being so short we will NOT be turning in folders this Tuesday.
I will be sending out the Parent Teacher Conference sign up soon so watch for that!
COOKIE DOUGH PICK UP IS TOMORROW, OCTOBER 11TH FROM 2:00-5:00PM
Believe it or not but parent teacher conferences are quickly approaching! They will be on November 3rd and 4th.
Please note the following for the week of parent teacher conferences:
We do not have school for half day kinder on that Thursday because we have twice as many families to meet with than the other grades.
We will be offering an in person option as well as a Zoom option. I would like to meet with as many people in person as possible. If you feel more comfortable or it does not work with your schedule I will be more than happy to accommodate with a Zoom conference. When the time gets closer I will just have you let me know if you would like a Zoom call.
Please send your child with a FULL water bottle EVERY DAY. We do not have easy access to a water fountain in the portable. I provide a water bottle to your children when they forget one, but my water bottle supply is quickly disappearing.
The only drink inside the classroom is WATER. NO juice, NO soda, NO tea, etc.
As the weather is getting cooler, remember to dress your children appropriately and send them with a jacket when needed.
Make sure your child is getting plenty of sleep. I am noticing more and more sleepy kiddos.
Dress code reminders:
Important Dates to note:
We are now beginning Unit 2 in Language Arts. Below are the power words, oral vocabulary words, letters, and sounds we will be mastering during the next 3 weeks. We will continue working on syllables, rhyming, identifying the beginning and ending sounds of words, and writing our name.
In math we are writing our numbers 0-10, learning to add one more, and comparing greater than and less than with numbers and objects.
And in science we are continuing to explore weather patterns and how to prepare for different weather events.
This year our school wide theme is “Be the One.” There are lots of different ways that each of us can be the one. We all have many “ones” in our lives. Dr. Dave and Ms. Angelee put together this video about the theme and some amazing students shared how they can be the one.
