To honor Dr. Seuss day in 4th grade, we read the book, “Oh the Places You Go”. We strengthened our writing skills by writing about “Oh The Places We’ll Go In Utah.” We loved showing all of our finished work at SEP conferences!

Dr Seuss week was celebrated in kindergarten with many fun and silly things! From Wockets in our pockets, green eggs, Cat in the Hat, painting hot air balloons, to our read-a-thon with a “Seussy Snack!”

Amazing Writers

Submitted by megan.oropeza on Mon, 03/11/2024 - 18:35

From struggling with one sentence at the beginning of the school year to now confidently crafting and editing an entire paragraph—our first graders have truly become amazing writers! 🌟✏️ Witnessing their growth is nothing short of incredible. Each paragraph now includes an opening sentence, at least two event sentences, and a powerful closing sentence. 📝💡 What a journey it has been, and we're so proud of the progress they've made!

Zombie in Love

Submitted by megan.oropeza on Mon, 03/04/2024 - 20:00

In third grade, students finished up a project called, "Zombie in Love." This was a writing project for Valentine's Day. Students got to create a newspaper article for a zombie that was looking for love. They had to think of things that a zombie might like, dislike, and activities zombies like doing. They then wrote it like a newspaper article and designed themselves as a zombie in their art! They worked so hard on them and they turned out so cute!

Second Grade Presidents

Submitted by megan.oropeza on Sat, 03/02/2024 - 15:02

Last week we learned more about President’s Day. We also filled out a packet about what laws they would make as president and why someone should vote for them. It was fun to hear their ideas and how excited they were to share them.

Learning in Speech

Submitted by megan.oropeza on Wed, 02/28/2024 - 12:09

This month our speech therapists have been doing group lessons in the kindergarten classes! Each week they focus on a different sound by teaching the students how to say the sound in isolation and how to listen for that sound in all positions of words! 

This week the focus has been on the /SH/ sound. Every class practiced the sound as a whole group and each student had a chance to come up and fish for a word that had an SH sound! 

So much fun!
