Quest families,

The time has come for us to select a yearbook cover for our 2023-24 elementary yearbook. We will be holding a Yearbook Cover Contest to select two students whose artwork will be featured on the front and back cover of the yearbook. This year, students can choose to do artwork that is created digitally or hand-drawn. Each entry must be brought in on a white 8 ½ X 11” paper, and include the school name along with the student’s first and last name in one corner. We will be looking for entries that represent this year’s theme which is “BE GREAT!” 

Entries are due by Friday, January 5, at 8:30 am.

List of digital art programs suitable for children: Adobe Fresco, Gimp, Krita, Artweaver Free, ArtRange, Sketchpad, Astropad Studio, Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, Vectr, FireAlpaca, Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Paint, Procreate, Tux Paint, Drawing for Children.

Feel free to call the school with any questions. 

Thank you, and happy drawing!

We are now beginning Unit 4 in Language Arts. Below are the power words, oral vocabulary words, letters, and sounds we will be mastering during the next 3 weeks. We have been introduced to all our sound wall sounds and are using our sound wall to help us spell words. We are working on handwriting and continuing to blend sounds to read words.

In math, we are exploring teen numbers. You can help us at home by providing extra practice reading and writing our numbers 11-20. We will also be mastering counting to 100 by 10’s and 1’s. In addition, we are making great progress on our individual math pathways (ask us about the standard we are working on).

We look forward to our science and STEM lessons. We are exploring forces and working to solve problems together in groups. We look forward to completing our forces unit with a visit from Discovery Gateway on Thursday, December 14. They will have several fun force and motion activities for us.
