One of our fourth grade classes, Mr. Grosdidier's class, is shown here learning to code so they can direct their robots to move in a designated pattern. They can also have the robot spin, talk, and go slow or fast, among other options. They are working in small groups, and must decide what they want their robot to do. It has been a great experience for the students.
Kindergarten students are exploring the phenomenon of Force and Motion. We explored the actions of pushing, pulling and how we can alter an object's motion with the amount of force we use. At learning stations students got to experiment with different manipulatives to test how much force they would need to make objects move. We flipped rubber chickens at a target, built a domino train, raced mini cars, jumped frogs, and built ramps for marbles to follow. We had a great time experimenting and discovering more about force and motion.
Kindergarten students celebrated a wedding for Miss Q & Mr. U this week. Joining these 2 letters together helps to remind us that they are side by side in words like quick, quiet, and quack.
As part of our kindness week, we are collecting new and slightly used stuffed animals for the Spanish Fork Ambulance. They donate them to kids they service on ambulance calls. Here are some of our posters created by the student council.
Way to go students! So happy you accomplished your goal!
A huge congratulations to our students moving on to the Regional Science Fair! We are so excited for them and wish them well! They are Lilian Madsen, Oaklee Williams, Haylee Johnson, Taizyl Tomlinson, Brylee Robinson, Haizy Baxter, Penny Albiston, Olivia Hansbrow, Tristyn Barratt and Claire Beenfield.
Our annual Kindness Week will be next week, February 13-17. We will kick off the week with "Hats Off To Kindness" on Monday, where students and staff can wear a hat.
We are going to have a stuffed animal drive going on all week where we hope to have at least 150 stuffed animals donated that we are going to give to the Spanish Fork Ambulance crew. They give every child they help and/or transport to the hospital a stuffed animal to help them not be so nervous. We prefer new stuffed animals, but they can be very slightly used.
