Halloween Parties and Guidelines
Quest Administration sent out the following message by email today. It addresses costume guidelines and candy to share. If you have any questions please feel free to contact the office.
Quest Families,
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 Halloween party. 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.
We will have our Halloween parade on Wednesday, October 31, which is a short day. Quest families are welcome to come watch their children parade through the Q2 gym from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM. Though only Kindergarten through 5th Grade students will participate in the parade, 6th Graders and Jr. High students are welcome to wear costumes as well (or students could choose to treat this day as a free dress down day).
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.
After the parade, Kindergarten through 5th grade may have classroom parties. Though treats are allowed, parent permission is still needed. These treats must be planned by the teacher/room parent and store bought. Permission slips will be sent home a week before the party so everyone is aware of specific items being served.

Class Rotations For Our Class
This year we will be doing rotations for science, technology, and social studies on Mondays. Mrs. Teichert and Mrs. Vella will be teaching science, Mrs. Nelson and Mrs. Knight will be teaching tech and I will be teaching social studies. Each rotation will last approximately 6 weeks. Our class will start with Mrs. Vella Monday, October 22nd. For the next 6 weeks we will be learning about, and discussing the following:Standard 2 Earth and Space. Students will gain understanding of Earth and Space Science through the study of earth materials, celestial movement ….
Objective 2 Observe and describe the changes and appearance of the sun and the moon during the day (and night lol).
a. Observe the sun at different times of the day and report your observations to peers.
b. Observe and chart the moon when it is visible during the day (or night)
Standard 4 Life Science. Students will gain an understanding of the Life Science through the study of changes in organisms over time and the nature of living things…
Objective 1 Communicate observations about the similarities and differences between offspring and between
populations.
a. Communicate observations about plants and animals, including humans and how they resemble their
parents.
b. Analyze the individual similarities and differences within and across larger groups.
Objective 2 Living things change and depend upon upon their environment to satisfy their basic needs.
a. Make observations about living things and their environment using the five senses.
b. Identify how natural earth materials (e.g. food, water, air light and space) help to sustain plant and
animal life.
c. Describe and model life cycles of living things.
***Please have your student bring in a family photo to share with the class while we discuss how they may resemble you as parents (heredity). The kids have so much fun talking about and sharing pictures of their families. We will also talk about the fact that not all families live with, or have pictures of there parents, (e.g. adoptions, fosters etc) but that they do have people who love, care for and about them. If you have any questions feel free to call or email me at any time.

Dress Down Day/ Fall break and homework news
Tomorrow is a dress down day for the small price of 5 cans to be contributed to our annual food drive. If you would rather you can also dress down for $2.00 and we will purchase the cans for you. You are also welcome to wear a uniform if you would rather.
We hope that you all have a wonderful fall break next week as there will be no school next Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. As a result your students will not have a homework packet for that week. The packet that they get tomorrow will be for the week off and be due the Friday after we come back, October 26th. Thank you and Happy Fall!
-Mrs. Gieseke
