I learned that the Golden Spike was the last nail that they put in. The Central Pacific was the slowest one.  They were known as the turtle.  The Union Pacific were really fast.  They were known as the hare.  Based on the story, "The Turtle and the Hare".  The hare was the fastest and turtle was the slowest.  It was really hard for them to build the whole train track.  They probably had to make a hole in mountains.  They had to break down some trees.

After reading The Adventures of Frog and Toad the Kite, students in Mrs. Brickey’s class created their own kites and tested their flying. 

CA few teachers had the opportunity to attend a couple of professional development conferences throughout this school year. It was a fantastic and uplifting experience. We got to collaborate and connect with many teachers across the district and BYU, as well as getting to know each other better. We all came away from the conferences with many ideas to improve our own teaching practices as well as improvements for the school as a whole. It was a highlight to our year!

Being able to communicate helps children make friends, learn, and enjoy life to the fullest. Talking, understanding others, and knowing what to say are really important skills for preschool children to learn.
