Our 1st graders had so much fun learning all about the compass and cardinal directions!   As part of their lesson, they got to hold their own compass and walk all around the school, following the directions they were given.  It was great!

Fourth grade had a visit from Santaquin police and their dog Roxy! We learned police have many tools to help with their job. Dogs are one! We also, learned we should have  a safe word that only parents know to help in precarious situations. Thank you, Santaquin Police for spending time with us!

Kindergarteners had so much fun at their field trip to The Museum of Natural Curiosity at Thanksgiving Point! They got to learn and explore as they developed a sense of curiosity in a hands-on learning experience. They also got to participate in a class where they learned about force and motion. It was a super fun time!
