Fifth grade opened their doors for the annual "Wax Museum" on Friday, March 15th. Students have been working hard for over a month to research and write an essay, as well as write and memorize a short speech to highlight individuals who have impacted United States history. There was a mix of nerves and excitement as they arrived at school. Costumes were donned and speeches were delivered with care and precision to our many guests.

B and d are commonly confused by learners due to their similar shapes. Developing automaticity helps children quickly recognize the correct orientation of each letter. When students struggle to distinguish between 'b' and 'd', it slows down their reading process as they pause to decipher each letter. Automatic recognition allows them to read more fluently, leading to better reading.

A strategy to help with this skill is shown in the picture above!

Dear Mustang Community,

As March unfolds, so does the excitement of one of the most thrilling sporting events of the year – March Madness! It's that time of the year again where basketball fever sweeps the nation, and we want YOU to be a part of the action.

We're thrilled to announce our March Madness Bracket Competition, and we're inviting every member of our community to participate. Whether you're a die-hard basketball fan or just enjoy the thrill of friendly competition, this is your chance to showcase your skills and have some fun with fellow community members.

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!
