I’m so excited to meet you! Come to Back to School Night to learn more about how awesome our year is going to be. Presentations will begin every 30 minutes. (6:00, 6:30, 7:00, 7:30pm)
In addition, there will be a free uniform giveaway in the lunchroom. While in the lunchroom, meet Stephanie Hadley and her amazing lunch crew. This is a good time to talk with Stephanie about any allergies your child may have.
NOTICE: THE ITEMS ON THIS LIST WILL BE USED DURING THE REGULAR SCHOOL DAY. THEY MAY BE BROUGHT FROM HOME ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS, OTHERWISE, THEY WILL BE FURNISHED BY THE SCHOOL.
I know how busy this time of year is and I want to help make it easier. I am giving the parents an option to pay a $30 donation to cover each student’s supplies.
You can start paying the $30 donation to the office at back to school night or anytime after school starts. I have already purchased these items for this year. If you would rather purchase them yourselves, they must meet the description I have listed below. It is more efficient for me to have all the supplies the same color and type.
I have already purchased the following items:
Colored pencils (24 pack) and additional art supplies
Plastic plain folders with metal paper holders and paper pockets. Blue, Yellow, Red, and Green. Folders are plain, no designs or images.
Composition notebooks/Black, Yellow, Red
Scissors/Pencils/Erasers
Glue
Copy paper
Highlighter/Expo markers. Skinny black only 15-20.
Party supplies/Birthday desk
Prize bin: Fun stuff that cost less then $1 each
Reward stickers: various variety
Christmas/Mother’s Day gifts/Father’s Day gifts
Service project card material
Rendezvous supplies
Pencil Boxes
Each student will still need to bring from home:
Headphones/earbuds-labeled with their name.
Backpacks are not to be brought. ONLY lunch bags are needed if they are bringing a lunch from home.
Water bottles are optional for students to bring for their use during class time. Please make sure it does not leak or spill if knocked or tipped over…Sorry Stanleys 🙁
Lanyards are optional, I will provide them with a shirt clip.
On Monday, May 19th, we will be going on a field trip to the Utah State Capitol and the Daughters of the Pioneer Museum. We will leave Quest Academy at 8:40 and return to the school at 2:20. We will be traveling by bus. Six chaperones may accompany us on the trip, but all chaperones must ride the bus with us. PLEASE FILL OUT THE FORM HERE.
On Tuesday, May 27 we are creating our Solar Ovens to make some S’mores! We are in need of donations of ingredients and materials. If you are willing to bring something, please send your child with them no later than Friday the 23rd so I know what I need to go get! Thank you 🙂
Our class is reading the BFG! (Big Friendly Giant) It is one of our favorite read alouds that we read. One of our final projects we have in 4th grade is creating and presenting giant size objects that would be suitable for the BFG to live among the “human beans.” Your kids are aware of the math they need to configure to create these items, however they might need a little guidance from you to finish this project at home.
Here are the requirements:
The item your child chooses must be 4 times the size of a regular human bean item. Examples might include a toothbrush, books, car keys, socks. (Example if the toothbrush is 4 inches long, we times it by 4 and now we have a 16 inch toothbrush.)
The item must be practical. (We need to be able to carry the item to and from school.) Have fun with this as it is something for them to be creative and enjoy!
Students can start bringing in their item when they complete it starting on May 19 but we will present our projects the day we watch the BFG movie and drink “frobscottle” on May 23. This will be a much deserved fun project/party to celebrate all the hard work we have put in for testing! Thank you for your support- let me know if you have questions on this project!
Thank you so much for the thoughtful gifts, kind notes, and heartfelt appreciation you shared during Teacher Appreciation Week. I truly felt so loved and celebrated, and your generosity and support mean the world to me. Every card, treat, and surprise brightened my days and reminded me how lucky I am to work with such wonderful families. Teaching your children is a joy, and I’m so grateful to partner with you in their growth and learning. Thank you again for making me feel so special!

We are reaching the end of our 4th grade year! WOW! We have a lot of fun activities planned and hope to be able to get to all of them to celebrate our hard work this year.
I am sending two review packets home every week for the next 3 weeks. Review packets are REQUIRED to be returned within two days. Monday’s packet is due on Wednesday. Wednesday’s packet is due by Friday. We will be reviewing packets on Friday. Packets returned are students’ entry into laser tag. I will be sending an email asking some students to stay after school to help assist and review packets during tutoring.

Please let me know if your student will not be attending school on any of the testing days. WE ARE REVIEWING EVERY DAY! It is also important that they get a good night’s sleep, a good breakfast, and here ON TIME. All of our tests are first thing in the morning. Our testing window is May 7th – May 16th.
I will let the children chew sugar-free peppermint gum or mints during the RISE test. Research does show that peppermint helps calm anxiety in students. Please let me know if you do not want your child to have gum during the tests.
