On Friday the fifth grade classes went on a field trip to the Utah State Capitol to learn more about the legislative session. They were able to visit the House and Senate galleries to watch the proceedings, and then met with some of our local representatives to learn more about the law-making process.
On Wednesday the author Lance Conrad came to talk with the sixth grade classes about writing. He talked about the writing process and the important components of a good book. The students enjoyed hearing about his history as a writer and what he has done with his career.
On Tuesday several sixth grade classes at Westside were fortunate to have a guest lecturer, Dr. Allphin, a professor at Brigham Young University, come and present about ecology. One of the sixth grade science strands is ecosystems, so hearing from Dr. Allphin was the perfect segue into the new unit. The students learned about ecological relationships, the food chain, and the role the environment plays in the food chain.
Nebo School District is always trying to improve communication and responsiveness to our stakeholders.
If you are shopping on Amazon anyway, the Nebo Education Foundation would be significantly benefitted if you shopped through smile.amazon.com.
Last week our fabulous fifth graders put on a patriotic program for the school, and later for their parents. The kids talked and sang songs about America, what it means to be an American, and how blessed we are to live in this country. Awesome job fifth graders!
Happy 100th day of school from all of the Westside students, faculty, and staff!
