Kinders at Work
A quick glance into our Kindergarten Classes during Center Time. As I have mentioned, numerous times, all of our classes in the Quest Elementary Building have a scheduled time for Literacy Centers. During that time, the students participate in differentiated learning activities in the areas of COMPREHENSION, WORD STUDY, WRITING, FLUENCY, COMPUTERS AND MUCH MORE. The main reason why we do this, is so that our amazing teachers can pull your students back and teach them literacy skills in small groups on their level! It is a beautiful thing!!!! Ask your students about this part of their day! Don’t forget to ask your teachers about it also at PTC!
This is just one of the reasons why
QUEST IS THE BEST!
ENJOY these few pics of our cute Kinders at work! Notice some specific centers in our Kinder Classes include, using the Smart Board, using Ipod Touches, using Netbooks, Reading Centers with books on their level, Word Study using Words Their Way, Writing Centers, Listening Center, Math Centers, Sight Word Practice and so on!
So much LEARNING IS GOING ON! Way to go Kinders!

Read A Thon
What an amazing idea! I have to say, this is FABULOUS! What a great way to raise money for our school track! I love that it encourages children to read! I have had a lot of fun having my son ask our family members to sponsor him for this! I even made up a cute little flyer to help explain the rules to everyone!
The fund raising committee is excited to be starting our biggest fundraiser of the year. This year we have replaced the Spelling Challenge with a Read-a-Thon. Your students should have brought a note home on Friday with the details. All pledge sheets need to be turned into their teachers by Friday Feb. 15th. Once the Read-a-Thon is over we will send the sheets home for you to collect money. All money will need to be turned in by Feb. 27th.
Have you seen how POQA spends its money? Last year we spent over $25000.00 installing the addition to the playground, and installing a track may be an even bigger expense. POQA provides dinner for the teachers during conferences and gifts during Teacher Appreciation week. POQA is responsible for Doughnuts at Dawn, Muffin Morning, the swim party, skate nights, movie nights; we also help fund class field trips. This year we have not only added more students we have also added Jr. High activities to our expenses. POQA has amazing Committee Heads who put in so much of their own time to make all these activities possible. However ,none of this is possible without fundraisers. Last year our Spelling Challenge made just over $5500 and this year our goal is $7000, if each student brings in $10.00 we can easily meet this goal! Custom Glitter TextSpirit Store Opening
