It is always more fun to read with a buddy!  Once a week, fourth graders visit their kindergarten reading buddies.  Kindergartners look forward to hearing stories read to them by their buddy, and fourth-graders absolutely enjoy reading to them.  Its hard to tell just who enjoys the experience more; pretty sure it's a win-win for both.

Kindergarteners love observing the life cycle of a butterfly and celebrated the miracle by setting their butterflies free.  

Kindergarten celebrates summer with several summer themed activities and lunch on the lawn.  

Once upon a time, Salem Elementay third-grade students, took a magical journey to Provo Canyon to attend the Story Telling Festival.  Studnets enjoyed wonderful stories, and some even got to participate as well.  After a fun day, students traveled back to school to their happily ever after. The End

Parent teacher conferences are coming on Sept 22.  Please use the following links to sign up for each of your students.  We hope to see all of you there.

Mrs. Hooley's second grade class enjoyed a fun team building experience.  Each table was given 20 pieces of dry spaghetti, one marshmallow, a yard of tape, and a yard of string.  They were given exactly 18 minutes to build the tallest tower they could with their marshmallow on top.  They had to work together , with everone participating.  The table who worked together to build the tallest tower was the winner.  YAY!  Table 4 ended up being the winning table, however a good experience was had by all!

The first day of school can be hard for Mom and Dad.  Part of you feels excited, the other part feels sad.  For many years you've held their hand, and have been their loving guide. Now you know the time has come to leave them by my side.  It is only for a little while, as your child will learn and grow.  And at the end of everyday, they will share with you all they know.  So as you walk away, don't worry anymore.  Ill take care of all those precious gifts when you leave them at my door.    ~Author Unknown

Read it here. Read it there. Read it everywhere. Mrs. Larson was able to spend part of last school year and this last summer writing a proposal to donorschoose.org to tell them how amazing Salem Elementary is and how they could greatly benefit from using Kindle Fire Tablets in the classroom to read and access more electronic books. Through many gracious donors, Mrs. Larson's 4th grade class was able to receive 7 kindle fires.

Just a reminder that today school will be dismissed at 3:15.  Early out day is on Monday this year.  Thank You!
