Mrs. Lindsey's Class

Please look at the following information and send your child’s information back to school so that they can be included  in this fun library activity! Our library day is on Tuesday!

What is our Global Community?
Each year in the Q1 library, we like to encourage students to share their family’s heritage during our Global Literacy week.  In year’s past we’ve done a Diversity Quilt, which showed family traditions & flags representing the family’s origins.  We’ve also done a “Peace” wall to show the different languages in which our diverse population of students would say the word Peace.  This year I would like to display on a map where our students come from.  Show them a visual of our “Global Community” here at Quest.  By doing this we would like to know what State or Country your student was born, or if your student would prefer, where their family originates from.  We will then put their name on a “sticky” arrow & place them on the map.  I think this will be a fun way to show how diverse our student population is here in West haven, Utah. 

For responding, your students name will also be entered into a drawing to win a small prize here in the library.  There will be one winner per class.

 It really is fun to see where we all originate from & have the students start thinking a little more Globally.  Also possibly finding a kinship with students from the same areas of the world.  J

 Thank you for participating!

Parents,
Here are a few items to be aware of:
Tomorrow is a $1 dress down! The money will go towards the Angel Tree in Q2.
Next week we are out of school for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Have a wonderful and safe break!
We will be doing our Christmas Around the World when we return from Thanksgiving! We will be having food items to go with the different countries that we will be learning about. These items were included in the disclosure that you signed at the beginning of the school year. If this has changed, for your child, please let me know.
We have several students who do not have headphones. I have only a couple pair left that are working. Will you please check with your child to see if they need headphones for school and maybe include a pair in your holiday shopping? This would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for all you do!

I love the dioramas!! We will be presenting them tomorrow morning 8:45 to 9:45, so anyone who would like to come see them is invited!

Hello Parents,
I am sending a new reading chart home with your student. From now on they will get a monthly themed chart that they will need to color items as they read. Have them return this as they finish it or at the end of the month.
Thanks so much!
Susan Lindsey

If this is your first year at Quest, please review our wellness policy regarding food in the classroom. As Halloween is approaching, parents often ask if their children can bring candy to share for their classroom Halloweenparty. According to our wellness policy, students are not allowed to bring treats to share. Information regarding Halloween party treats will be given to parents one week prior to the party. All parents are required to give permission for their students to consume treats during these activities.

Please note that costumes should be modest and without blood or gore. Though students may paint their faces, masks and weapons are not allowed. Anything that depicts violence is banned (knives, guns, swords, spears, etc.). If you have questions about costume accessories, please contact us. Just to reiterate, no blood, either depicted on the costume or in makeup, is allowed.

Happy Thursday!,
Next week is our Positive Me Week!
Here are the daily activities that your child may participate in:
Monday- Hat day- scare away bad health by wearing your favorite hat
Tuesday- team jersey day- scare away bullies by wearing team jersey or t-shirt
Wednesday- Scare up some fun by wearing your Halloween costume
Thursday- super hero shirt- scare away negativity by wearing your favorite super hero shirt
Friday- crazy hair day- scare away drugs by having crazy hair

Halloween- I have acquired permission signatures (on our disclosure) for your child to have cookies at our party. Please let me know if there have been any changes since the beginning of the school year!
We will have a Halloween Parade at 9:00 and a class party from 10:00 to 11:00.  Students may wear costumes with no masks or gore.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Hello!,
Your second grader should have brought home an Animal Diorama instruction sheet. This has the information needed for this homework project. Please do not feel like money needs to be spent for these projects. The students may use materials found around the house. We have discussed this together as a class. I am giving you almost a month to complete these but please do not procrastinate. However, please don’t bring them to school until November 6th. I can answer any questions at parent conferences next week 🙂
Here are some examples:


Have a wonderful Fall Break!!
