Important Dates:
The time has come for us to select a yearbook cover for our 2022-23 elementary yearbook. We will be holding a Yearbook Cover Contest to select two students whose artwork will be featured on the front and back cover of the yearbook. Each entry must be on a white 8 ½ X 11” paper, and include their first and last name. We will be looking for entries that represent what Quest is.
Entries are due by Friday, December 16, at 8:30 am.
Feel free to call the school with any questions. Thank you, and happy drawing!
Students have been working very hard to be proficient in multiplication facts! We have a few kids that are still trying to master these skills. Please help them by practicing at home. To celebrate, we are going to be watching the movie for our winter party. The party will be on Friday, December 16. This movie is rated “G.” Please let me know if you would like your child to participate in another activity that day instead of watching the movie.
Students may wear clean pajamas to school that day. They can bring a small pillow, blanket, and stuffed animal to use during the show. Kids can snack on treats they brought from home (it can be healthy or sweet). They can bring a closable drink too.
NOTE: anything they bring may not be shared with other students. Remember we have a short day this day.
Besides watching the movie, we will have a gift exchange. Please send your child with a $3-$5 gift to share. They may also regift a gently used item/toy. Please bring the gift wrapped. I will gladly except any extra gift you can send for children that don’t bring on. I will not need any volunteers for this day. If you would like to be participate in the fun, you can sure stop by for a little bit.

Upcoming Rendezvous-We will be having our annual fourth grade Rendezvous (a.k.a. the Economics Fair) on Thursday, Dec 15th. It will be held in the Q1 Gym from 2:00-3:00. This is a fun activity for all who come! ALL are welcome including smaller siblings. Guests will receive complementary “pelts” at the door to spend too.
In the next month, we will be learning about economics and rendezvous as part of our Utah history lessons. This activity will help students gain a better understanding of basic economics as well as how mountain men and early pioneers made and sold products. This activity is part of our social studies curriculum. All students are encouraged to participate and will need to be present on the day of the activity.
To be ready for this event, students will need to make a product or plan a service to “sell” during the rendezvous. Some examples are (but not limited to):
We have had in the past: flower pens, play dough, slime, hand warmers, jewelry, and other simple crafts. You pick what you would like to bring BUT no food items will be allowed. Remember what you have learned about economics, make something that no one else has. That way, you can charge more for the product because you won’t have any competition. HIGH DEMAND=MORE SALES/PROFIT 😉 Your overall profit will reward you with bragging rights. We don’t use any “real” money. We will be using rendezvous “paper pelts.”
From now until the rendezvous, students will have the opportunity to earn “animal pelts.” This is our form of money/currency given out by 4th Grade Teachers to be used to buy things at the rendezvous from other students. You will turn in your paper pelts afterwards. Whatever you choose to make should be homemade or a kit (Amazon has several-but order soon). Don’t stress about this project, you can paint/use markers to color rocks and call it good. Remember***you want to have a product kids want to buy in the end though*** Students should use materials that can be found around the house to make their product-don’t break the bank. Any cost involved in purchasing materials should be minimal. Students will need to make 30 items to sell. Please let the students make this product/service with minimal help from grown ups. Rendezvous items are due Monday, Dec 12th. This will assure that students are ready to sell on Thursday and give time for me to help students price their product and make a poster in class. AGAIN, the product posters are being made in class.
Lastly, please fill out this Google Form to allow your student to participate.
Feel free to email me with any additional questions.
