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!

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!

Here are some pictures from our treasure hunt.  We followed the path of Pirate Pete to the different islands looking for GOLD!  There were scary obstacles in our way, but we made it!  We found Mermaid Island and the treasure. We brought it back to the ship before the Queen could take it away.  We all had a blast!

Our sixth graders had the opportunity to attend Sports Hero Day at Brigham Young University.  The students participated in different sports activities with various BYU athletes.  The athletes took time to teach the students about proper nutrition, teamwork, setting goals, and good sportsmanship.  At the end the students from several schools came together for a pep rally.  BYU athletes, including Mitch Matthews, talked with the students about being a hero and reaching your dreams.  Eliza Price, from our school, won the prize for the best hero essay.
