Sarah McMullin O'Gwin, Matt McMullin, and Candi McMullin come into Mrs. Kelley's first grade classroom on behalf of Agriculture in the Classroom sponsored by Utah State University Cooperative Extension.    They talked to the class about the importance of agriculture in their lives, and specifically talked about bees and their importance and how farmers depend on them.

First graders had a visit from the Bean Museum. They were excited to see a frog, a snake, and a tarantula. They also found out about classification of animals through a fun slide show!

The first grade classes made leprechaun traps to try and catch leprechauns on St. Patrick's Day.  The leprechauns came and made some big messes in their classrooms!

The kindergarten classes just finished their unit on What is Science?  They were able to experiment and discuss some of the many things that science is.  Some of the few things they learned about and did were:  sink and float, making flubber, making crystals, static electricity, learning about animals, volcanoes, how mountains are formed, plants, constellations, and many more.  Did you know that a banana squash floats?!  They loved doing and watching science experiments.  Science is fun!

February 6th was the 100th Day of Kindergarten!  The school year has been flying by.  On the one hundredth day the kindergartners got to do many fun activities about the number 100.  They wrote to 100, counted to 100, brought 100 things to share,  some built with 100 sticks and cubes and even 100 cups!  What a fun day!

On Thursday, February 5th, a scientist from the Discovery Gateway Museum came to our school to do some cool experiments with the fifth graders.  Right now, the fifth graders are learning about matter and how to recognize both chemical and physical changes.  To help them learn these concepts, the students not only got to see some really cool demonstrations with surprising reactions, but also got to participate in some experiments.  They had a great time with this hands-on learning experience!
