Halloween Items
Happy Halloween! We are having our annual Halloween parade on Friday, October 29th. Because the parade will start at 9:00am, we ask that students come to school already dressed in their costumes.
For those who would like to watch the parade, please plan on bringing camping chairs or blankets and set them up along the outside of either building (see map below—the yellow dots indicate where families can sit).
Costume guidelines:
Costumes should be modest and without blood or gore. Students are welcome to paint their faces and wear Halloween masks; however, those masks will only be worn when directed to do so by the classroom teacher (e.g. during the parade, when a class picture is taken, etc). Weapons and anything that depicts violence are not allowed on school property (knives, guns, swords, spears, etc.). If you have questions about costume accessories, please contact us. Just to reiterate, no blood, either depicted on the costume or in makeup, is allowed. Quest Administration

Math in Class
We just finished our simple 2-step word problems and will be moving on 2-digit addition with regrouping. They will be learning strategies to add numbers up to 100. We do NOT teach the algorithm in 2nd grade. We want them to understand what each digit means and how to break apart numbers to make adding easier. Please see the letter home for examples.
After School Math Tutoring – I will begin after school tutoring on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:00 – 3:30. This is by invitation only and I will contact you letting you know that I would like your child to attend.
Happy Birthday, Benjamin!
