Spotlight on 1st Grade Centers
We love CENTERS at our school! Here is a spotlight on one of our 1st Grade classrooms! We have the BEST teachers ever!
In Mrs. Dunmeyer’s 1st grade centers, she has used a very wide variety of centers activities. Her class has 13 different centers activities that the students rotate between. Some of the students’ favorite centers include:
– Banger! (apick-up-sticks game using Fry’s Word Phrases) – Doggy Drop (students throw a dog stuffed animal onto a $1 shower curtain covered in words. The students must read the word that the dog falls onto in order to score points.) – Monster Mash (students use cute flower-covered fly swatters to swat “word monsters.” They must read the word first!) – Monster Munch (students read and sort words by “feeding” them to monsters (bags). Each monster has a taste for a specific word type, such as -igh, -ed, and -ough words.) – Lilly Pad Leap (students place lily pads covered in sight words on the floor, and, as they read them, they leap from pad to pad)Thanks Mrs. Dunmeyer for sharing these great Learning Center Ideas with us!

Tulips at Quest
We have planted seeds of excitement in our student’s minds!!!
Our 3rd grade and some of 4th were some of the few classes selected to Explore the Seasons in Journey North Gardens under the direction of Thanksgiving Point.
With this our students were provided Tulip Bulbs to plant in their classrooms and around our facilities. The classes have been using a Tulip Garden Journal to record how the garden looks through observation. They record their observations, the temperature, use measurement, make predictions and add questions in their Journal throughout the school year. This experience integrates, Science, Writing and Math!
In the Fall, our students planted the bulbs in and out of the buildings, right now, they just finished working together to put up a picket fence to protect one of our Tulip Gardens and later on this Spring they will take a field trip to Journey North Tulip Garden at Thanksgiving Point.

Pi Day: Celebrate Math on March 14th
Pi Day is celebrated on March 14th (3/14) around the world. Pi (Greek letter “π”) is the symbol used in mathematics to represent a constant — the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter — which is approximately 3.14159.
Pi has been calculated to over one trillion digits beyond its decimal point. As an irrational and transcendental number, it will continue infinitely without repetition or pattern. While only a handful of digits are needed for typical calculations, Pi’s infinite nature makes it a fun challenge to memorize, and to computationally calculate more and more digits.
Students at Quest 2.0 celebrate Pi Day each year! They are required to complete a Pi worksheet full of Math Problems related to Pi. After they get their work passed off by our fabulous Math Teachers they are rewarded with Pizza and Pie!
ANIMAL POWER POINTS
As a part of the 2nd Grade Curriculum they study Animals and their Habitats. Students learn how they adapt to their environment and our they integrate Technology into this lesson by creating Informative Power Points. 
Our classes combine ELA, Science and Technology in this lesson. They start by doing research on a specific animal of choice and complete a story board containing the required elements. Next, the students learn the in’s an out’s of Powerpoint, including transitions, changing and resizing font, inserting pictures, shapes, word art and text, formatting objects and more!
This class is busy using the NetBooks to create their presentations that they will present to their Families at the end of the month!
