Kindergarteners are going on a Field Trip!

Where: BYU Monte L. Bean Museum 
When: Thursday, April 11
Time: All Classes 9:00-12:00
Who: Westside Kindergarten classes

Mrs. Herrmann's 5th grade class performed a Boston Tea Party play for the 5th grade dual immersion classes. They even threw a colonist (Landon) overboard for trying to steal some of the tea.

During 5th grade math enrichment rotations, each student got a fraction sticker to wear. They went around the room to other students and multiplied their fraction with other student's fractions. Of course, they had to simplify them too. Mrs. Herrmann was the "bonus" fraction because her sticker was a mixed number.

Mrs Hansen’s classes love ice cream!  They went over their read-a-thon goal!

Kindergarten had a visit from a Rock Expert - Nana D. We had a great time learning about the rocks she has collected and how she polished them. She even gave each kindergarten student baggies with small rocks that she had polished. Thank you Nana D for sharing your knowledge with us. 

When your teacher gets married and comes to school, you do a receiving line with flowers and say goodbye with bubbles!  

Congratulations To Mr. and Mrs. Richey!

Ryker, in Mrs. Olesen's class, built a dinosaur that the class read about in a book by using pattern blocks.

Ms. Anderson's class read The Tiny Seed, then painted a flower in the style of Eric Carle and wrote about how we have grown from tiny seeds into beautiful flowers almost ready for second grade.

When the weather is bad and students can’t go outside for recess, they still need an opportunity to take a break and be active. Mrs. Crook’s class plays Scatter in the vestibule. Using a soft ball, students try to tag each other with the ball. When they are tagged, the student has to sit or kneel down but can continue to play by reaching for the ball and trying to get other students out. The winner is the last person left standing. The students LOVE this game as an alternative to going outside.
