Here are our November Students of the Month!

Our 4th and 5th grade teachers planned the faculty and staff Christmas party and did an amazing job - it was so much fun! 

We are all having so much fun celebrating the holidays at our school!  

• Miss North's class had the best day seeing the Polar Express and having Santa visit!
• Mrs. Barnum's class looked great for Elf Day!
• Mrs. Provstgaard's class created ornaments and reindeer hats for their reindeer day!
• Mrs. Leighton got to celebrate her birthday and her class looked amazing for Grinch Day!

We still have two days until Christmas Break, and our amazing teachers are cramming as much holiday fun in these last few days as they possibly can!

Mrs. Barnum's class had a blast on Grinch Day!  They also had fun thinking up how they would make Santa a new suit.  We're having so much fun here at Santaquin Elementary!

Third Grade students were asked to decorate the tree at Zions Bank. They learned about how snowflakes are formed. Snow crystals come in many different shapes because of the rate they fall, how much moisture is in the air, and the temperature. Students made hundreds of snowflakes. They cut different shapes, folded origami snowflakes, and grew Borax crystal snowflakes on pipe cleaner shapes. You can see their display called “Let it Snow” in the lobby of Zions Bank at 100 East Main Street in Santaquin!

Our 3rd grade students also worked hard to tie edges of blankets for Project Linus, a service project Miss Call arranged.   They have been busy spreading holiday cheer!

First graders had a special visitor to celebrate Santa day!  We made Santa hats, practiced making inferences by guessing what is in Santa's sack, and writing letters to Santa convincing him how good we've been!  Best day ever!!

Here are some of the favorites this week from art class -

What color really are shadows?? That depends!  This week we learned about shadows, colors, and the colors in reflective light.

The students put their knowledge to use and created snowmen with some kind of light source. Then they practiced blending colors with pastel chalk.   These all look amazing!

The 5th grade students got to computer code with Google employees for 3 days. It was a lot of fun and easy to do. Maybe you will see one of our students' Google Animation when you open up Google.
