October Third Grade Culture Day

Submitted by lena.bird on Tue, 10/31/2017 - 12:07

This month for our 3rd grade culture day we learned about the countries of Canada and Scotland. Did you know that there are two official languages in Canada? That means that kids there learn English and French in school! We also learned that one of their favorite sports is hockey! During the winter the lakes, ponds, and even driveways are turned into hockey rinks. Another thing about Canada is that they never wear shoes indoors.

A Furry Friend Visits Mrs. Bird's Class

Submitted by lena.bird on Fri, 10/13/2017 - 15:36

Our class has been working so hard to make good choices.   As a reward, Mrs. O brought some furry friends to visit us.  Everyone was so excited to meet Roger and Saturn, two Mini Rex bunnies.  We learned all about bunnies.  We learned that a girl bunny is called a doe and a boy bunny is called a buck.  Special thanks to Lynda Williams at UVU for letting her bunnies come to our class for the day.

Some thoughts from students:

David: "The best part was that one of the bunnies liked me!"

Dump Punch Recipe:
Half glass of Sprite
Half glass of grape fruit juice
Enjoy!

“My favorite part of Because of Winn Dixie is when he pulls back his lips, pulls back his lips, and smiles! Also it makes me laugh and it’s cute”, says Marley from Mrs. Peterson's class.

As part of the third grade curriculum, we focus on learning about the cultures, customs, languages, traditions, and communities around the world. To help students learn about these things, each month we have a “Culture Day”, where parents/grandparents/family members of our students volunteer their time to come in and present about a country they are from or have visited. Thank you to our volunteers that came to visit us in September!

Diamond Fork Canyon

Submitted by lena.bird on Mon, 10/09/2017 - 14:05

On September 26th, 2017 the sixth grade went on a field trip to Diamond Fork Canyon in Spanish Fork.  There, we did four different activities.

For the first activity, we talked about the characteristics of plants. We learned about the varieties of leafs, and the different types of trees. After filling out a paper, and doing a group discussion, we did a scavenger hunt for different plants. We were given a card describing the plant, then we went to find it, and bring back a sample to our guide.
