For a jolly good time, just take a bus load or two of great Kindergarten children and their parents up hobble Creek Canyon to Jolley's Ranch.  There are many things to look for and many things to do.  kindergartners looked for shapes and alphabet letters in nature.  They listenend for all they could hear and looked for all they could see.  They searched for many things on their lists and found many other things that were not on their lists.  They chose a stick and used it to create a picture.  They made foam insects, ran races, and constructed bird callers.&nbs

Friday, the 19th of April was not a good day for Humpty Dumpty.  He and several of his siblings experienced the heart break, and sometimes the shell break of being hurled off of the roof.  Mr, Pitcher and helpers took bag loads of Humpties up on the roof and then threw them as high as he could make them go.  Luckily, Kindergarten students and their families had invented protective devices for their little eggheads.  Outcomes were sometimes positive and sometimes not so positive.  Regardless, it was a good experience in brainstorming, hypothesizing, inventing, and th

On Friday Rees students had the pleasure of learning good dance manners at a Western Hoe Down.  Pictured are the younger students during their lesson.  We had a great time and were very respectful to the instructors.  This activity was part of the Utah Arts in Education program.

Wait until you see the latest lessons learned in Mrs. Tew's Class on Friday.  Tiny teachers were large and in charge that day!  Great job, teachers!

Thursday was a special day in our class because we got to have Mr. Wood from the district art department come and teach us how to draw using basic shapes.  We learned we could draw people using shapes.  Take a look at what we drew!
