The Great Shake Out at Spanish Oaks

Submitted by sherri.peterson on

In April each year the State of Utah schedules a state wide earthquake drill.  The purpose for this event is to encourage schools to become better prepared for a major earthquake.  Nebo School District teaches the Drop, Cover and Hold-On (DCH) instruction recommenced by the USOE and state emergency managers. 

Our Spanish Oaks Elementary drill was a huge success.  We did find that getting under cover was easy; it was getting back out that was tricky, especially for the adults :)

The fourth grade had an exciting visit from Pat Hogle, who owns a quarry. Students got to touch and see real fossils as he explained what a paleontologist does. In this photo Kaden and Adalee are working together to split rock and find a fossil!

Kindy 500

Kindy 500 is a school-wide favorite tradition.  The whole school lines the halls as the Kindergarteners parade around with their homemade cars.  It is always impressive to see what cars the students come to school with.  Great job Kindergarten!

5th Grade Program

Submitted by lindsay.robison on

Today we had the opportunity to watch the 5th-grade program.  It was jam-packed with facts about U.S. History from songs, speaking parts, and quiz questions.  A 5th-grade student would ask a quiz question and the rest of the students in the school would use sign language to tell their teacher what letter option they thought was the correct answer.  The teacher would use letter cards to show the 5th grade what their class thought the answer was.  Then the 5th grade would sing a song about the answer to the quiz question.

Vocal Dimension OperaWorks Assembly

Submitted by lindsay.robison on

VOCAL DIMENSION “OPERAWORKS”  is a mixed quartet with piano accompanist that presented an entertaining introduction to the world of Opera.  Students learned about the history, the voice parts, and various elements of Opera.  They enjoyed the “light” side of Opera as they, themselves, became the makeup artist, prop director and sang in the Opera chorus of a delightful version of the “Three Pigs.” Energetic, and fast-paced, “Operaworks” proves that Opera really can be fun!!
