In Kindergarten we learned the importance of being a responsible citizen in all of our different roles which included our homes, communities, and our planet. We used our knowledge to complete a shared partner writing. We loved helping and supporting each other with this task!

Fifth grade had a fantastic time at the Utah State Capitol this week! They were excited to watch the House of Representatives and Senate vote on new bills. Representative Whyte was able to step out of the voting session to speak with our class for a bit. It was amazing to see our Utah Government at work! 

Computers have been a blast! Kindergarten students have been working hard on their mouse control and how to navigate games on the computer with Teach your Monster to Read. We are beginning our new unit on coding for first through fifth grades. The first and second graders have helped their fuzz buzz get to the finish line in Kodable. The third graders have joined the academy in CodeSpark and are using problem solving skills to code their character to accomplish tasks.

Our class has been focusing on strengthening friendships and building classroom community. This picture is a snap shot of just some of our students. There is so much fun in our class! 

29 gloriously wrapped Christmas gifts sat in the back of the classroom for several days. Students got so excited about what the surprise could be. Finally, the day came that each student got to open their gift. Everyone was surprised with full-size skateboards to take home and enjoy!
