WTW Changes

   I have retested all students, and there will be new WTW groups starting next week!
   I am so proud of your students and their growth! I have been retesting and testing them in different areas this last week and I am seeing lots of growth in each child in all areas! I am so proud to be their teacher! 🙂 I have the best students! 

Ancestors!

Wednesday October 21st, we are going to talk about ancestors. I would like the kids to talk to their parents about their ancestors and where they came from and where they are now. 

For example, 

Mrs. Woodrow’s Dad’s side of the family is from Italy. We still have family in Italy, but all of my close relatives live in the United States. We have Italian family members in Oregon, Utah, and Washington. 

*Have students bring a paper with the names of the countries their ancestors came from and where they are now. We will look up on a map where those countries are and explore their heritage. 

This will be fun! I can’t wait to hear about your students ancestors.

Upcoming Events!

clkercom-pumpkin-clip-art Halloween Party
Students are currently earning marbles to have this party! I have faith the students will succeed!
This years party will be a rotation style with the other 2nd grade classes. The party will be held from 12-1pm on October 30th. Our class will be hosting a BINGO game. I have one volunteer to help. I would love to have some others to assist. We could also use some donated non-food PRIZES. Dollar store prizes would be awesome, just something small to give to students who get BINGO! 
*Email me if you can participate! Send donated items with students and I will collect. 
Thank you! 

ALSO, 

We are doing a service learning project in December for an Animal Shelter.

Christmas Family Portrait Event

Christmas Family Portrait Event 

is back at Quest!

What is it? 

It is a fundraiser put on by the Technology Department to earn money for STEM Clubs this year! For example, we are going to participate in Lego Robotic Competitions, Cyberpatriot ones and more!  

How does it work? 

We have invited Toni J Studios back to our school!  She is an award winning photographer and has been a photographer for over 20 years.  Sitting Fees can cost anywhere from $50-$300 depending on where and who takes your picture right?  Well, Toni J is only going to only charge $25 for her sitting fee for us, and guess what???? She is going to donate the FULL $25 to Quest Academy!  She is willing to take all of our portraits for FREE those three nights and give us that money.  She is also going to donate a percentage of the portrait sales to us!!! This fundraiser is so AWESOME because we do not have to put any money out.  It is straight profit for us!  

Step 1.  Please print the ticket (or check your child’s back pack, one should be coming home tonight) fill out the ticket and return it to the office with your child’s name and the $25 (you can put it in an envelope and your child’s teacher will give it to the office) – please write your checks out to Quest Academy.  Next, call the number on the ticket and book your appt.  (October 1,2 or 3) Please do this before Sept. 25th so we can get an idea on how many time slots we need those nights :). 

Step 2.  Come and get your Family Portrait taken on the date you booked.  They will be doing them in the Q1 gym. 

Step 3.  Toni J and staff will come back to Quest and you will come in to proof your portraits and order your prints.  These prints are HIGH quality and will be retouched.  The packages run from $89 -$259 and we promise you will be happy.  You can ask any of us that have used her in our past fundraisers. She has unique Christmas Cards for you to order and all of your portraits will be ready in time to deliver for Christmas gifts!!!

As easy as that right? 

Look at your family portrait at home and ask yourself if it is time to update it and help Quest be able to start some engaging clubs for your children ALL at the same time!  It’s the perfect time of year to do it and for a great cause. 

The Technology Department is going to provide a Pizza Party for the class that sells the most Sitting Fee’s.  Remember, to share this with your extended family as well, it is not only for Students at Quest. 

Thank you in advance!  We have a slideshow up in Q1 with some samples, we also have some samples in the Q1 Mac Lab and some images on FB if you haven’t checked them out yet!

Reminder for Black Island Farms! Black Island Farms
We are planning to go to Black Island Farms on September 21st. We will be leaving the school at 9:15 in the morning and returning at approximately 1:30. 
Each child will need a sack lunch, that does not need to be heated, and a water bottle. 

We will be walking through a farm, learning about vegetables, picking our own pumpkins and doing activities in a field so please dress your child in appropriate shoes that day. It is not a dress down day so the students will need to be in uniform. If your child has a red uniform shirt, please dress him/her in that color. 

Due to the high cost of transportation- we are asking for a $5 donation from each child. This needs to be paid to the office by September 15th. 
 Parents will need to pay the office $3.50 by the 15th if they plan to attend. Also, please let me know if you will be attending.Please NO siblings!
