Our First Graders celebrated Feliz Navidad Day!
They learned about the legend of the poinsettia.  A lot of the students were surprised they were real!  They thought it was major magic at work when they say how a few of the leaves were changing from green to red.  The students all created their own Christmas Poinsettias.  Miss Dooley's class reviewed their sight words by writing them on small Christmas lights, tangling them up in the antlers of reindeer and then mounting a 3D reindeer head on paper. Yes, the first graders did all the folding and gluing of the poinsettias and the reindeer. Amazing!

First Graders celebrated Christmas Tree Day today! They went on a scavenger hunt around the classroom to find Christmas trees that had different math problems. They also used shapes to make their very own Christmas trees. To end the day, students got to eat Christmas tree treats. It was a very busy day in First Grade! 

Mr. Hanosek visited Mrs. Barnum's class and taught them how to do Quizlet and the kids loved competing with each other to win at subtraction games! 

Our 3rd graders love playing math games!

Mrs. McMullin worked hard over the break and surprised us all with some very festive windows at the front of our school!  The students all love it.  Thanks for making our school look so festive, Mrs. McMullin!

We had a blast celebrating Thanksgiving at our school last week!

Mrs. Barnum's class read Turkey Trouble and then disguised turkeys.  Their disguises were really clever!

Mrs. Holdaway helped the students think about everything they're thankful for.  If you have time to check them all out on your way to the library, you definitely should!

Mrs. McMullin's Class made Gratitude Acorns in art with Mrs. Russell and our 2nd Graders made a tiny thankful art gallery.

We have so much to be grateful for at Santaquin Elementary!

Mrs.Provstgaard’s class earned a fun class party for being so amazing! They’ve been working hard for their piñata party! Great job guys!
 

Our students have been having so much fun in art with Mrs. Russell!  Here are some of the projects they've been working on over the last few weeks: Creating Leaf Bugs, Drawing in the style of Tim Burton, and making jellyfish. (Make sure to watch the video of the jellyfish parade!)  We have a school full of artists!

Miss Dooley’s class learned about adjectives and transportation. They made a train accordion book to describe the different types of train cars there are. They then stood them up to look like the train was on a track.  Such a fun activity!
 

At Santaquin Elementary, we are grateful for the men and women who have served and our serving our country.  Our students created some videos to show their appreciation.  Please click "Read More" and then click on the links to watch the videos.   We hope you enjoy!
