Homework this week is due on Friday, October 1st:

1- Math Homework: 
  • A letter titled “Dear Family” will be sent home in your child’s green take-home-folder tomorrow (Monday).  This week’s math activity is a review of the same math activity from last week. Please have your student review it as the students still need some extra work on it.  It provides an activity to do together.  Please read the letter and invite your child to share what they know about the concept by doing the activity together. If you would like to print the letter you may do so below by clicking on the pictures: 
  • ***Parents, please WRITE YOUR SIGNATURE on the math homework, indicating you did this activity with your child***

*These are due on Friday.  When students return this letter with their name and a parent signature (indicating a parent read it and did the activity with their child), the student will be entered into our treasure chest drawing. 

2- Daily Reading Fluency (available in the Green Homework folders on Mondays). Many of your students will be doing the same fluency passage based on comprehension. Please complete both sides of the Leveled Daily Reading Fluency assignment. One of the benefits of the leveled readers is the opportunity we have to adjust to meet individual student needs. Feel free to write a note if the reading passage is not a good fit for your student (too easy or too hard). Please consider both reading fluency and reading comprehension when requesting a more challenging passage. 
 
3- Reading 20 minutes per day.  No need to submit minutes, but we strongly encourage you to make reading a priority. Reading comprehension strategy: Help your child read a story and then retell the events from the story in the correct order.  Also included in your child’s green homework folder is their test results of their recent Dibels reading tests with me and what items they can work on at home to become more successful, capable readers.  Feel free to work on the items suggested on this test diagnostic.

Quest Families,

We are excited to start serving breakfast on Monday at 7:45am in the Q1 gym! Please click here (please let us know if the link doesn’t work) to watch a video regarding procedures that should be followed for dropping students off for breakfast. The front doors will not be open until 8am still, so it’s important for you to watch the video for details about where and when students should be dropped off. As a reminder, students who do not qualify for free or reduced meals, will be charged $1.50 for breakfast. We thank Kristen Hales and our lunch staff for putting all this together!

Zoo EntranceOur Hogle Zoo Field Trip is nearly here, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 18th.  Here are a few things to know before we go:

1-  We are still accepting field trips donations at the Q1 office, suggested donation $18.00 for school year.  We greatly appreciate anything that you can donate for our trip.  Thank you for your generosity!  

2- Wear school uniform with RED shirt, sunscreen and good walking shoes! Please dress for the weather.

3- Bring a cold sack lunch from home in a disposable bag with your child’s name. (Unless you pre-ordered a school sack lunch).

4- Be on time. Arrive at school by 8:30am.  Bus departs at 8:45am.  We will leave the zoo around 1:00-1:15pm, returning to Quest around 2:00 or 2:30pm.

5- Parent chaperones: Please bring a backpack or bag to carry the lunches of the students in your group.  And a lunch for yourself.  We are planning on the 11 volunteers as chaperones that confirmed with me.  Please be prepared to pay for yourself and any extra children you bring (2 and younger are free).  For those of you not listed as chaperones on the Zoo Group form attached below, please feel free to join your students group and assist with chaperoning, be prepared to pay for yourself.  (Les Schwab is listed as having discount tickets according to the Hogle Zoo’s website and I will stop by both the Roy and Clinton locations and get some discount coupons for entrance for those parents needing to pay their admissions so they can get in at a discount from regular admission).  For those driving, plan on meeting us at the front of the zoo at 9:45am.  The zoo address is 2600 E. Sunnyside Avenue, Salt Lake, UT, 84108.
