**Please let me stress that this is optional practice for your student, not required.  We do ask for students to read 20+ minutes every day to develop their love for reading.  

1- Optional Math Practice: 
  • The family letter below provides review in math that you can do with your student.  Please read the letter and invite your child to share what they know about the concept by doing the activity together.

    2- 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.

    This is what we are working on this week in language arts block:

    Our Hogle Zoo Field Trip is nearly here, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17th.  Here are a few things to know before we go:

    1-  We appreciate those who have already made their field trip donation (Jacelynn, Bianca, Eliza, and Logan have already completed this donation).  If you haven’t please pay your $18.00 donation to the Q1 office to cover the transportation costs of our scheduled field trips this year- the cost to hire the buses is very expensive.  We greatly appreciate anything that you can donate for our field trips.  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.  Everything must be completely disposable. If your child is eating school lunch, please make sure you fill out the form that I emailed you so we know who to plan lunches for.

    Schools building schoolsEnjoy these fun videos by Dr. Dave and Ms. Angelee: Quest Annual Fundraiser and How Many Items to Sell?

    Quest Families,

    We are excited to kick off our POQA fundraiser! Your child has been given a booklet with information about the items for sale; journals, notebooks, sketchbooks, and wall art prints that have been designed by global artists. There is also an insert that has Quest specific items designed with our own Rams Head Spirit Logo. This fundraiser not only earns money to fund our school activities, but it helps to build schools worldwide. So far five schools have been funded in Ghana, Laos, Guatemala and Mali because of fundraisers just like this one. Art can change the world!

    As an incentive each and every item sold will qualify for your child to come claim a prize. These will be given out by POQA only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of each week the fundraiser is running. This fundraiser will run until September 13, when all forms and money will need to be turned in. Visit our school Facebook page to view a short video with our own Ms. Angelee and Dr. Dave for information from the kick off assembly. We also encourage you to visit the companies website at www.DENIK.com to read the story behind the company, and the amazing things they are doing to support artists and build schools.

    We thank you all for your amazing support,

    POQA

    P.S. Students are welcome to keep their complimentary notebook
