Dear Parents,
Thank you for signing up for Quest Clubs. Following, you will find the club that your child’s name was drawn to be in. We apoligize for the short notice, but with the long weekend, we just realized we need to start clubs tommorrow, in order to be done by Spring Break. We are happy to announce that every student that signed up was able to get either their first or second choice of the clubs. Thank you again for being understanding about the short notice. Please note, the Running Club will not be starting until sometime in early March. We will send home the information about it when it becomes available. We will tell your child which teacher they are assigned on Tuesday after school. There are still some spots avaliable in the chimes clubs if more students want to join.

WE are super excited about heading to the Children’s Theatre and State Capitol Building Thursday (Feb. 4th)!!  It’s going to be a very exciting day!

Here are a few reminders:
-Please be at school no later than 8:20 AM on Thursday.  Our bus will be leavingpromptly at 8:25 AM.  We must leave on time to get to the theatre on time.
-Students need to bring a backpack.  In their backpack they need: a lunch, a water bottle, and a jacket.  Students are also allowed to bring a book or a game to keep them occupied during the bus ride.
-Students need to wear uniforms and name badges on field trip as well.

Parents that are attending:
-Remember there is no room on the bus for parents.  Sorry, we have lots of third graders.  Parents need to drive separately and can carpool  ride together down there.  The address of the Children’s Theatre is 3605 South State Street, SLC.  
-Parents need to get down to the theatre before the bus does, so you can pay your $5.00 admission at the door.  They won’t seat us until all parents have paid.
-No smaller siblings can come with us on the field trip.  
-Please bring your lunch

Field Trip!!

     We are currently planning a fun and adventurous field trip that will take place Thursday, February 4th.  We have the opportunity to visit the Children’s Theatre in Salt Lake for the production “Heroes of World War II”.  The cost of this production is $6.00 per student and we are asking each student pay their $6.00 to the front office (for admission and to help with price of bus), and then give their receipt to their teacher.    
     This field trip is our one and only bus field trip for the year.  We will be boarding the buses immediately after roll call and will need every student at school ON TIME.   We will not be able to wait for late students.   Volunteer parents will need to drive themselves or carpool with other volunteer parents. We will first go to the Children’s Theatre and then have lunch on the State Capitol grounds.  We will also take a tour of the State Capitol after lunch.  We will return to Quest Academy at 2:00.  Pick up will be at normal time.
     School lunch will not be available this day; so all children will need to bring a backpack with their lunch (and water bottle) inside.  Their backpacks will also serve as the storage place for their coats throughout the day. There is no need to bring any money. Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather the day of the field trip.
     If you would like to chaperone on this trip, you are more than welcome to join us. The cost of each adult is $5.00, and will need to be paid as we enter the theater. We are sharing the theatre with another school and need to let them know the exact number of parents we will have with us. If we do not have a written commitment from you, by January 29th, you will not be able to attend with us.  Please indicate on the form below if you would like to go with us.  Due to the nature of this trip and the need of adult supervision,  PLEASE  make other arrangements for ALL other brothers and sisters.
     Please return the bottom portion of  this note–Children’s Theatre Permission Slip–and pay your $6.00 no later than Friday, January 29th; we will gladly take them before that.

 

Welcome Back!

I hope you all had a wonderful break and holiday! I am excited to start our new adventures in 2016!  I really missed my class and I am excited to get back! This week will be very busy as we are almost half way through the school year. Can you believe it!? We will be working on text dependent writing from non-fiction text, finishing up main idea, and learning about fables. We also will be working HARD to get our multiplication facts down. We will be finishing up 6′s, 7′s, and 8′s this week so please have your child work on them at home as well.  Our multiplication madness party is February 14th, which is coming up fast. We set a goal at the beginning to have everyone pass off their 0-10s. We would love any help we can get to reach that goal! Thank you for support!
