What is our Global Community?
Each year in the Q1 library, we like to encourage students to share their family’s heritage during our Global Literacy week. In year’s past we’ve done a Diversity Quilt, which showed family traditions & flags representing the family’s origins. We’ve also done a “Peace” wall to show the different languages in which our diverse population of students would say the word Peace. This year I would like to display on a map where our students come from. Show them a visual of our “Global Community” here at Quest. By doing this we would like to know what State or Country your student was born, or if your student would prefer, where their family originates from. We will then put their name on a “sticky” arrow & place them on the map. I think this will be a fun way to show how diverse our student population is here in West haven, Utah.
For responding, your students name will also be entered into a drawing to win a small prize here in the library. There will be one winner per class.
It really is fun to see where we all originate from & have the students start thinking a little more Globally. Also possibly finding a kinship with students from the same areas of the world.
Thank you for participating!

Q1 Librarian
I got this feelin’ – about outside
Will it be windy? Maybe rainy? Maybe dry?
All through my city… all through my town
We’ve got some tools to help us measure what comes down
I’ve got a rain gauge in my pocket,
Helps me see how much it’s rained
A thermometer, it helps me measure heat. Oh!
Anemometers do wind speed – it is so dang neat!
All these weather instruments just can’t be beat!
And under the skies, barometer shows
Our air pressure – highs and the lows.
A hygrometer, everyone knows
It measures moisture, measures moisture…
Nothing I can see but clouds when it rains, rains, rains
Love this weather lots and lots
When it rains, rains, rains – come on
All those things that we can use
When it rains, rains, rains
All these tools are super cool when it rains
Can’t stop the weather!
When it rains, rains, rains
Can’t stop the weather!
When it rains, rains, rains
Admin wanted us to send out this extra information about Halloween:
If this is your first year at Quest, please review our wellness policy regarding food in the classroom. As Halloween is approaching, parents often ask if their children can bring candy to share for their classroom Halloweenparty. According to our wellness policy, students are not allowed to bring treats to share. Information regarding Halloween party treats will be given to parents one week prior to the party. All parents are required to give permission for their students to consume treats during these activities.
Please note that costumes should be modest and without blood or gore. Though students may paint their faces, masks and weapons are not allowed. Anything that depicts violence is banned (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.
