Such a fun and crazy crew! We had a great day today as we played a pirate game that helped us to see how important it is to work together as a team, even in the classroom. We're learning about what it takes to be a good citizen and a good friend. We've already made many great friends!

Welcome Back!!

It's that time again, time to get the backpack ready, decide on which clothes to wear on the first day and set the alarm for early in the morning. I'm excited for a new year and some fun new faces in the classroom. We've got such a great year planned so put on your seatbelt...it's going to be here fast!

Sumertime Fun!

I can't believe how quickly summer is flying by! I've been busy gardening, taking classes, hiking and basically enjoying some free time. I hope you are all enjoying some great summertime fun as well. It'll be over before we know it!

Earth Game

This past week we read a story about how kids, even our age, can make a difference to help save our earth's environment. We learned how to play "The Earth Game". It was cool to see how when we do something positive it can effect others in a positive way and can benifit out world. We also learned how some things we do can have a negative effect on the world. We want to be a positive force to all around us!

A Day On The Farm!

Friday we got to go visit Harward Farms where different types of farmers from around the state taught us about what they do and the importance that farming plays in our lives.

We had a picnic at the park in Spanish Fork on the way home and enjoyed the sunny cool weather while we played for just a few minutes on the playground!

Our guide at the farm was awesome and we had a lot of fun going from station to station.

The talking tomato was a big hit! How did she know us so well??? Hm...

Petting the animals was probably our favorite part. We got to pet pigs, goats, a horse, and a lamb. We also got to see a sheep get sheered. What a haircut!

Kyler, is that a 'real' cow you're milking?????

Taos was the bee keeper for the day. What an outfit!

Harvest Time!

We finally got to harvest our seeds from our brassica rapa plants! It was sad to let them dry out, but then when we got to open the seed pods and harvest the seeds inside it was awesome! We had so many seeds! Each of us kept some of them to plant if we wanted to, but the rest of them we gave to Mrs. Olsen to have the 2nd graders next year plant. Then they can have the same cool experience that we got to have! We learned so much about the plant cycle!

School Rocks!

Learning about rocks really rocks!! Stone is applying pressure and time to some 'sedimentary rock. Then we added heat to turn it to metamorphic rock! It was way cool!


We also made our own crystals using borax and water. They crystalized over night. We discovered that adding food coloring really doesn't make a difference because the crystals don't absorb the color. But the crystals turned out cool though.

We got to make igneous rock 'crayon' by completely melting crayons and then letting them cool. Then we each got a piece of the rock/crayon to take home.
