These past few weeks, we've been learning about division. We started it off by using blocks to show numbers in groups. For example, we put 254 in 4 different groups. We learned there are two different types of division. There is partitive and measurement. I hope everyone in our class will be able to know division well.

Culture Day continues in the 3rd grade! Before Thanksgiving break, all third graders were able to learn more about the country and culture of Saudi Arabia. Students learned about Saudia Arabia's geography, traditions, language, government, religion and more. Students especially enjoyed learning about the different types of clothing typically worn in Saudia Arabia and the tradition of sitting around a rug and eating Na'an bread. Third grade loves our culture days and we are so excited for all the upcoming presentations!

In 4th grade we have been studying about the three geographical regions of Utah. We learned about the Great Basin, the Colorado Plateau, and the Rocky Mountains. We then had the opportunity to make salt dough maps of Utah and paint them according to the three geographical regions. The students had a lot of fun and did a fantastic job! 

Mrs. Peterson's 1st-grade class have been learning about silent e. The students have been picking out masks and being sneaky and silent to demonstrate how silent e affects vowels in a word. It is always fun to add drama to your lessons and learning.

Kindergarten was able to write letters to Santa! We are making sure to be super nice this month because Santa’s coming to town!! 

Did you know that a jellyfish doesn’t have a brain?
In our 2nd grade Journeys book, we read all about jellyfish. We learned that jellyfish don’t have brains or hearts and they never know if they’re stinging an enemy or a friend. We then picked 3 facts to share and then stated 2 opinions that we had about jellyfish. Ask your second grader what they think about jellyfish.
