All of the songs in our Christmas Choir Concert this year were based on arrangements from the chipmunks.  We all enjoyed the twists on familiar tunes and silly speaking parts in between. The kids worked hard preparing and did a great job!  The audience even got to sing along on Deck the Halls and they turned out to be pretty great singers too. Special shoutout to all the amazing students who took on singing solos and speaking parts!

Every term, Mrs. Beckert brings the students together for an active learning assembly.  Last term, the students learned about determination and being self-aware. This term the students are learning and practicing asking questions and wondering.  Mrs. Beckert talked about what asking questions and wondering does for us. There are three things: deepening understanding, increasing our ability to solve problems and to create meaning.  She taught the students that when they come to a problem they need to see, think and wonder.

Students in Miss White's class are playing multiplication games and rotating around math centers.  They are having fun practicing their math facts.

Last week was Computer Science Education Week and our class had the opportunity to participate in Hour of Code.  In the pictures above students were doing Hour of Code on the iPads. This is a great tool to help students understand the basics of coding while having a fun time doing it.

Mrs. Andrews’ class learns about multiplying 2-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers. We had to work together at our tables to have enough base-ten blocks. When we traded 10 tens for 1 hundred block it was a lot easier. We could see how place value effected our problem solving.

Our class had a special visitor today, Mrs. Clayson.  She's Mrs. Ramos' mother, and is a retired teacher from Nebo. She taught our class how to make Santa Claus by tearing paper. (No scissors allowed!) It was a fun project and our Santas turned out great!

Carter Peterson got the classroom all ready while his teacher was doing outside duty, Kaylee Livingston cleaned up all the scraps after a craft project for the whole class, Paula Gomez came in early and set up everyone's chairs,. 

Thank you students for being thoughtful and kind this week!

This week, Mrs. Gulbransen’s class received an elf! We named her on Monday, and she told us how much she loved her name by writing it all over the board today. We are excited to see what other mischief she gets into these next couple of weeks!
