In Mrs. Blair’s music class we have started our Ukulele unit with our older grades. This week we learned 3 chords. Once we master those, we will turn them into a song.  In the younger grades we played Puppet show with instruments. Students would play various instruments while giving a puppet command for the others to do. For example: the xylophone is for waving arms up and down. The tambourine is for walking backwards around the room. The kids had fun taking turns doing this. 

Ever since we have been back from Christmas break, all the 6th graders talk about now is how excited/nervous/anxious/happy/terrified they are about going to the middle school next year. The 6th grade teachers have been working really hard trying to prepare them for what's to come.

Most of you are likely aware that the Utah Legislature recently passed a law that effectively ends the face mask mandate in Utah on April 10.  However, you may not be aware that the “the mask requirements for K-12 schools REMAINS IN PLACE until June 15.  Additionally, local officials, like a school board, do NOT have legal authority to end the school mask requirement before this date.” 
  

Exciting things are happening in Computers!  We have been learning how to code for the last 8 weeks.  The First and Second Graders have used Fuzzies to help learn how to code in Kodable the next week we became a monkey collecting bananas in Code Monkey.  We also had a water balloon fight in Code Spark Academy.  Breathe a sigh of relief, no one got soaked!

We have been working on becoming pros with decimals! This week the students worked together to represent decimals in many different ways. I love their team work and collaboration! Go Mrs. Simpson’s fourth graders!

We have been learning about many different cultures throughout the school year. We love learning from all of our guests about the cultures that they have lived in and all of the different traditions that they have. 

2nd grade used their engineering skills to try to protect their sand castles by building barriers that could withstand weathering and erosion!
