Place value in first and second grade place value is the one of the most important math ideas that first and second grade students learn. Students created place value creatures to reinforce their understanding of ones, tens, and hundreds.

Last Friday (11/16), our 5th grade students had the opportunity to visit Discovery Gateway Children's Museum. They were able to reinforce their learning from science classes with a lesson on inherited traits from the knowledgeable museum staff. The students also got a chance to engage with fun interactive exhibits at the museum. We had a great day and thank you to all the parent volunteers who helped make our field trip possible.
Our young authors and artists have been busy writing and making turkey decoys.
6th graders were able to participate in a STEM science lesson dealing with density. In this lesson, students stretched a piece of black fabric, and then the teacher set balls with different densities on the fabric one by one. Students watched to see how far the fabric stretched down when each ball was placed on the fabric. The students especially loved the difference of placing the soccer ball and bowling ball on the fabric. They determined that because the bowling ball was solid and the soccer ball was filled with air, that the bowling ball must be more dense.

Our second grade classes are participating in an 8-week research project that examines how integrated science and literacy instruction influences second grade reading and writing ability and science content knowledge. This project is known as SILI – Science Infused Literacy Instruction and is funded by a grant from Brigham Young University for this project. Teachers are effectively integrating science and literacy instruction that aligns with the Utah Core Standards.
