Art- Mrs DeLuca


Hello All, 
Welcome to or welcome back to Quest!  I am really excited about the upcoming year and having the opportunity to share my passion for the visual arts with your children.  In my class, we will be learning about a lot of new and old art techniques, artists, and strengthening our creativity, imagination and problem solving skills.  I strive to create a safe and  educational environment that requires students to explore many different types of artistic mediums.  Through this blog, I will keep you up to date on upcoming projects and after school opportunities so that you can share in your child's artistic growth.  Feel free to contact me if you would like to volunteer in my classroom or to speak with
me regarding your child's progress.

September Fitness Challenge

Reminders:
- Students need to come prepared for physical education with proper foot attire and uniform.  Students may wear regular school uniform or plain navy sweat pants and a plain gray or Quest t-shirt.  Girls who wear skirts need to have shorts on underneath.  If a student forgets their shoes, they are able to borrow a pair from my shoe bin. 

-Water bottles are not permissible in P.E. class.  Classroom teachers will allow students to use the drinking fountain at the conclusion of the 35 minute P.E. class period. 

-Students who have asthma or other chronic physically limiting conditions need to communicate this to me so that the necessary precautions/accommodations can be made. 

Classes this month will be reviewing gymnasium expectations, practicing safety, developing personal and spatial awareness and participating in a fitness challenge.  The fitness challenge in September is a 4 minute run.  Students will try to jog for 4 minutes without stopping, or walking.  Students that win the challenge are awarded with a glitter toe token and a necklace which they can keep the token on.  I will also take a group picture of the winners which you can look for in the front hallway on the P.E. bulletin board (located near bathrooms).  There is a different challenge each month that students can earn different tokens from and add to their necklace.  Replacement necklaces and tokens cost $2. 

Any questions or concerns, please email, call, or send in a note. 

-Have a healthy day!
