Carnival Time

“A Pirates Cove”

It’s time again for our Spring Carnival which will be held on May 10th.

Your children will be coming home with five pencils and raffle tickets. With each pencil sold you can receive one raffle ticket.

POQA will be around before and after school this week to collect tickets and money. You can also get more pencils and raffle tickets during this time.

Instructions will be sent home with the pencils-so watch for the pencils!

Next week we will be selling carnival tickets before and after school.

Remember, you can always finish up your volunteer hours by volunteering to set up the carnival or work at it!

Using an iPad to teach!

This year at Quest we have been focusing on using a new teaching tool in our classrooms!  An iPad!  Every teacher at Quest has their own iPad to use as a Slate in the classroom!  We provided our teachers with this tech savvy tool so that they could teach from anywhere in the classroom!  This way they would not be stuck at the board all day!  The students can use it as well as a resource while learning to strategies in class! Another fabulous reason why we wanted our teachers to have an iPad, is because it makes it really easy for them to record their amazing lessons and post them on the blog for you to see!  Extra COOL ha? As a parent, it is very important to me to know what my child is learning in class and to see how their teacher explains it! I grabbed a few lessons from the past couple weeks that I noticed were posted on some of our teacher’s Class Blogs! Amazing what Technology can do right?

I came across these two Dr. Suess videos on our QACTUBE here at Quest and thought I’d share!

Way to go Quest Kids!

Apple Store Field Trip: Mrs. Newton’s 3rd Grade

Last year we had the opportunity to attend field trips to the Apple Store at the Gateway in SLC.

This year we are also fortunate enough to have that opportunity! In fact, the field trip facilitator told me that of the 13 field trips they are doing this Spring, Quest Academy has 8 of those time slots!  Wahoo!

The Apple Store integrates right in our Charter and Technology Standards!  We are a dual platform school, and are very lucky to have Mac Operating Systems at our school!  We have a Mac Lab and several sets of Mac Laptops available for student use!

Mrs. Newton’s class hopped on the front runner and road down to SLC, then they got on the local Trax and it took them right to the door of the new City Creek which is now where the new and larger Apple Store is located!

Her class was greeted with a HUGE welcome from the staff at the store and all of the people in the store!  They all received a T-Shirt, Certificate and a Flashdrive …. but the best part was the fun time they had creating an IMovie Mother’s Day project!

It was a huge success and I am very excited to see what the other classes from our school will learn on their Field Trip to the Apple Store!

A big thanks to Apple and to all of the wonderful parents who attended the field trip!

Here are some snapshots for your enjoyment!
