This week in Kindergarten the students learned about Utah State symbols. They learned about the state flag, flower, animal, and why we are called the Beehive State. Then they created a book with all the symbols.

During library time this week, students learned about Drew Daywalt, author of some of our most popular picture books like The Day the Crayons Quit, The Legend of Rock Paper Scissors, and Monkey & Cake. We really enjoyed finding out what inspired Drew to write his many imaginative and hilarious books, reading Rock Paper Scissors together, and playing the game together afterward.

This week students learned how insects and plants have a symbiotic relationship by exploring how pollen can travel from plant to plant with an experiment!  Students took their ‘insects’ from plant to plant and pollinated different flowers and saw how the pollen started to mix in the different flowers!  Students then drew and explained how insects and plants help each other. 

Mr. Ledesma, our school counselor, came in and taught our class about team work. Each group was given a bag of supplies and were given the instructions to build the tallest rocket they could. The students quickly figured out they had to work together to make their structure strong and tall. They also learned about what makes a good teammate!
