Math in Kindergarten
Kindergarten is learning how to subtract with fun learning activities! Some of our favorite activities were pirate subtraction, ‘who took the cookie from the cookie jar?’, and speckled frogs! These activities give students a visual representation and are super fun!

Fun Friday in Third Grade
Third grade enjoys a reward for completing and turning in homework on time. Each week we have a Fun Friday. These range from game days, outside games, to movies, STEM activities or in this case, cooperative learning. Creating a tower using rubber bands and drinking cups was puzzling at first. When the first group figured it out the room buzzed with excitement as everyone built the standard tower and some interesting variations. No hands! Unstacking and re-stacking, all with five or six "handles" of rubber bands. Creativity, Persistence, Focus.
Clay Animals in 2nd Grade with UVU Artist Brian Jensen
When Mr. Jensen came, he taught us how to do ceramics. If you don't know what ceramics is, it is clay that's been fired. We went to the corral where he taught us how to make clay animals. Then he just built the animals! After we went back to our classes to make our own animals and Mr. Jensen went from class to class to help kids build their animals. That is what happened when Mr. Jensen came to teach and help us build our animals.
6th Grade Plays
This year's 6th graders in Mrs. Brown’s class are doing plays about ancient Egypt. There are three plays: Isis and Osiris, Helen of Egypt, and The Tomb Thief. Each play has a Director and around 9 cast members.
Shapes in 2nd Grade
Second grade is working on their shape unit this week. Mrs Peterson’s class started by organizing shapes. They were each given a bag of shapes to organize in their own way. They organized by shape, size, sides, and angles. They decided that the most efficient way to organize them would be by angles and sides. They also were able to identify shape names that go along with their sides and angles. They learned about quadrilaterals, triangles, pentagons, octagons, and hexagons. Their challenge was to see where they see these shapes in their everyday lives!
FRIDAY is the last day to order a yearbook
