October 17

Quest students display their endangered species posters to members of the Waterbury community at the library.

Sunset Rock

Next Friday (October 20th), we will be going on a field trip to Sunset Rock (see link for details).  We will be passing out permission slips on Friday, October 13th.  A copy of the permission slip can be found here.

Bake Sale for Puerto Rico

Please send in your baked goods, napkins, or beverages either on Thursday, October 19th, or for the beginning of the music concert.  We will run the sale before the concert, and afterwards.  Our proceeds will go to the community where our penpals live.  

Writing Warriors

Students are writing independent pieces and are submitting them for feedback.  Students will have a piece "due" at the end of each month (like rent, I've been telling them :)  If your student ever seems bored at home, they can be writing!  The pieces are of their own choosing for topics, and they get instruction and feedback based on what they need, each week.  They can also submit pieces to the Writing Warriors part of Google Classroom.

Conferences
Quest will be having their conferences on October 26 and November 2.  Look for sign up information in Cougar Comments. We will meet with you and your student for fifteen minutes.  Before or after this time, there will be space for you to look at your student's work with your student.  If you had a student on Quest last year, this will look a little different for this conference.
