We hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine these last few days! We thought we'd share some "sunny" moments at QMS over the last few weeks to help spread some joy. We have a few stories to share, so we hope you enjoy them!
First off...from a couple weeks ago...
"The 5th grade had the opportunity to try a few kinds of tea as we continue to talk about the Boston Tea Party. Ms. Liz, from the Homer Public Library, came in to read them a related book as part of March is Reading Month."

Our Peer-to-Peer (P2P) crew spent time during their lunches today writing out positive messages for our 8th graders before they take their PSAT tomorrow.
Enjoy some more 5th grade Easter math fun!
We hope everyone who celebrates it is enjoying today's Easter holiday. Our 5th graders enjoyed a math Easter egg hunt on Thursday before the holiday weekend. Enjoy the pictures!
We had a great week back at QMS. Here is our weekly video update! We celebrated our March is Reading Month Champions and our new Students of the Month, among other things.

5th grade science planted terrariums as a way to kick off our ecosystems unit. The kids made great observations and will be observing plant growth (and real soil conditions) over the next several weeks.
We hope everyone has a wonderful Spring Break! Here is a quick update with Mr. Suever and Dale!

We hope everyone is having a fantastic Friday! Yesterday, our QMS students (and a class from the HS) enjoyed having Alex Melendez from the Michigan Storm Chasers speak to them about weather and storm chasing. Alex presented on a variety of topics, ranging from how he became interested in meteorology and what that can look like for students, to weather phenomena and safety. The students were then given a chance to ask questions during a Q & A session. Alex made sure to answer everyone's questions, even the bonus ones as students were leaving.
Our students were amazing audience members and great scientific thinkers with their questions. The 5th and 6th grade teams enjoyed the first presentation, while the 7th and 8th graders participated in the second session. Alex was impressed by their attentiveness and questioning.
We want to thank Mr. Miller, our 6th grade science teacher, for setting this up. We also want to express our gratitude to Breco for sponsoring such a cool opportunity for our students!
Talk about strawberry sweetness! Students district wide were treated to a strawberry shortcake donut breakfast in celebration of Valentine's Day. May everyone have a fabulous weekend!!
Brookelyn, a QHS Senior, and Clare, a QHS Junior, were guest speakers today in Mr. Barnes's afternoon health classes at QMS. They came in to talk about high school life and being good leaders. Both girls are extremely involved at Quincy High School, and both have been great role models for our future high schoolers.
The students have been working hard on their minis and learned how to work with water-slide transfers (pictures will be in next week's post). Another piece of exciting news comes from the heroes over at Golden Rhino Games in Ypsilanti, who donated a whole table's worth of supplies, minis, rules, and a playmat with terrain. This was a very generous offer and we really appreciate them helping out! Stay tuned to see the kids use those supplies as the year goes on!
Mrs. Neusbaum's class celebrated National Hot Chocolate Day today since we don't have school tomorrow. Students could choose to add marshmallows, chocolate chips, whipped cream and a chocolate spoon. A big thank you to Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Ostrander for donating the toppings!
We are BACK! It was great to have everyone back at school. Here is this week's update:
