Hip Hip Hooray! It’s almost the 100th Day!!

100 days of school
The 100th Day of School lands on Thursday, February 1 and we are excited to celebrate!  Each child is welcome to bring a collection of 100 items that day to school (100 buttons, 100 signatures, 100 pom poms…) It’s fun to see what 100 of something looks like!  Just a couple guidelines:  
* Please let your child only bring in a collection that they can carry and manage by themselves (in fact it would be nice if it could fit in their cubbies)
* No food items (per Quest policy)
*Please no items that have been banned (like Pokemon cards)
*Have fun thinking of a creative or unique collection you want to bring :)

Also we have our Winter party on Friday December 15th from about 11:40am-1:30pm. Mrs. Nelson and I both have different people graduating that day and will have a sub, so we are looking for more volunteers to help.

Please email Mrs. Bischoff at qbischoff@questac.org if you are willing and able to help with the party. 

Here is who we currently have signed up:

SLANT song

We have been working on SLANT in our classroom since the beginning of the year and we were reminded today of what each letter means. Some of the students wanted to watch this at home and come up with actions for us to remember them better. So here is the video we watched today for our reminder.
