The speech teachers really enjoy the opportunity to go into the kindergarten classrooms to teach various speech sounds! This week is focused on the “snake sound” or S sound. The students have fun making the sign for this sound by slithering their fingers up their arms like a snake.
Happy New Year! What are your New Year’s Resolutions? Our third graders have been working hard all week brainstorming ideas for how we can have the best year in 2023! We learned that it’s not good to just say you will complete a goal and hope it will happens, you have to put forth the work and effort to make needed changes every day. We loved creating our “New Year’s Persons” holding our perfectly crafted goal statements. After stating our goals, we said things like, “We know we can accomplish these goals by doing…”, and “I will work hard every day by….”.
Museum on the Move came to our school to teach the 4th graders about different cultures and people in Utah throughout history. Students were able to handle different artifacts, make observations, and learn what the artifact taught us about people in Utah.
What exciting activities have we done in Computers? Well, let me tell you! Kindergarteners are learning how to code. We coded a pathway for our character to gather items and then to the treehouse so we could meet our friends. First graders are learning how to program using block code and guiding our fuzz buzz to the end of the maze. Oh, this is fun! Second and third graders are learning how to code in “Be Kids” using block code. We are using code to guide our character along the map while completing tasks. We are also learning how to debug our code.

Last month 2nd grade had a visit from Mrs Peterson’s dad, Mr Murdoch! Each year he visits, he shares his musical talent with a few instruments, and discusses the importance of sticking to learning a new talent!
We are so lucky to have the best volunteers from the community come and help in our classroom! Some of our favorite helpers are grandparents of students in our classes!
