Stores are now stocked and ready for Valentine’s Day.  To help you properly prepare for our in class celebrations, here are the Quest guidelines in regards to Valentine’s:

“Per Quest’s wellness policy, all food in the classroom must be preapproved. Furthermore, parental permission is also required for students to consume food during class parties. Due to this policy—as in years past—student Valentines cannot contain edible items. Suggestions for nonfood Valentines include pencils, erasers, bubbles, stickers, etc. Please note that such items, including Valentine cards, are in no way required.”

WE ARE GOING TO BE AUTHORS!

We are going to be writing our very own classroom book. It will actually be published and the kids are SO excited! We voted and picked today what kind of book we wanted to do. They chose an ABC book using animals. I showed them a clip of a book to give them an idea and they decided they wanted to do one like it. 

Here is a link to the clip if you would like to have an idea of what we will be doing. 
We drew letters and here is a list of what they drew. BE CREATIVE! They have all week to decide. By Friday February 10th they need to have these items written down on a piece of paper and turned in so I can look over them so we can get started on Monday. 

You can not use all of the same things from the book. 

They will need to think of: Screen Shot 2017-02-06 at 3.39.03 PM

2. Our Valentine’s Party will be Tuesday, February 14th from 1:30-2:45pm.  

Valentine’s Helpful Hints:
1- We have 24 students in our class.
2- Only write who the Valentine is FROM. Do not address Valentine’s to each student (this will help the students distribute their Valentine’s in a more orderly manner).
3- Your student is welcome to decorate a box from home and bring it to school on the day of the party (February 14th). Please note: This is not mandatory. I will have something for those who don’t to put their stuff in.
4- To follow Quest’s wellness policy, only nonfood Valentine’s. Thank you. 

Per Quest’s Wellness Policy, all food in the classroom must be preapproved. Furthermore, parental permission is also required for students to consume food during class parties. Due to this policy—as in years past—student Valentines cannot contain edible items. Suggestions for nonfood Valentines include pencils, erasers, bubbles, stickers, etc. Please note that such items, including Valentine cards, are in no way required.

100th Day of School Celebration!

Don’t forget tomorrow is the 100th day of school! We will be doing some math using 100 objects that they bring from home.

Please send your child with 100 objects/items in a small bag or baggy. This needs to be something that fits in their backpack and they can easily count and take home without getting too messy or lost. NO food items per Quest policy.

Examples: 

100 pennies
100 paper clips
100 sticky notes
100 stickers 

This is a fun day as we explore the number 100. Thanks for your help with this!
