Students will be selected on a first come, first served basis, and talents should be limited to 3 minutes or less. An email will be sent out if your child has been selected to participate in the talent show. Click here to sign up. Thanks.

Summer Fitness FUN

Our class has just finished reading the BFG! In addition, these awesome students have worked incredibly hard this week and will continue to work hard next week and have earned a party. We have decided to celebrate with a BFG party Friday, May 12. This will consist of presenting BFG stories (something they have been working on in class), watching the BFG movie, (Permission Form Here) and presenting giant sized objects that would be suitable for the BFG to live among the “human beans.” Your kids are aware of the math they need to do to configure giant items, but could probably use a little guidance from you on this project.

BFG Project 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, candy bar, etc.

The item must be practical. We need to be able to carry the item to and from school easily 😉

Have fun with this project as it is something for them to enjoy using their imagination and creativity for the hard work they have put in all year! Thank you for all you do and your continued support this year!

Next week we start end of year testing. These amazing kiddos have been reviewing all we learned this year. They are ready! Keep encouraging them to end strong. They have worked so hard! All of our tests are first thing in the morning starting Monday morning May 1. Our testing window is April 26 – May 10.

I will let the children chew sugar free peppermint gum 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.

Best dress (what you would wear to a wedding or church) or school uniform please. Along with singing, 8 students from our room will have speaking parts. Students will sign-up for these today and we will randomly pick out names. These parts need to be memorized. The parts have about three sentences in them. After they are picked, parents will be notified to verify they will be in attendance.

FROM ADMINISTRATION TO Quest Families,

As many of you are aware, there are winter warnings and advisories about today’s and tomorrow’s winter storm. The recommendation has been to avoid commuting or traveling tomorrow morning, as the roads are predicted to be unsafe. Due to these advisories and the distance many of our families and employees travel to attend Quest, students will be learning from home tomorrow. In the jr. high, students will access assignments and other learning resources via their Google classrooms—it is not necessary to login to Google Meet. Students are welcome to email teachers with any questions they have regarding their posted assignments.

Elementary students have learning packets that were sent home previously to provide learning from home in these situations. However, please watch for additional resources to come home today with Q1 students. Their teachers will be contacting you shortly via their blogs or email.

Please note that we will watch conditions closely over the next couple of days to determine student learning on Thursday (late start, learning from home, regular school day, etc.). Thanks so much for all you do. We hope your families stay safe!

For my 4th-grade students, I have some work for them to complete online. These are things they will need to submit or return when it is completed.

• iRead- 30 mins
• imath-30 mins AND teacher assigned lesson
• Wonders TO DO List- Read “Apples to Oregon”
• Science nearpod- on Chaparro Science google classroom
• Vocab slides – on Chaparro ELA google classroom

I sent a snow packet home in January, this can be done on Thursday if school is canceled. If they somehow forget how to login- they should have all logins at home. Students can sign in through google. (first.last@qackids.org) Also on my blog under Parent Info and student log in codes it shows how to log in to programs we use.

Thanks, this makes it so we do not have to make up the day in the summer.

Mrs Chaparro
