Kindergarten takes a tour of the kitchen as they learn about the letter K!

It was story time with Mr. Welburn on Friday.  The book this month was Do Unto Otters: A Book About Manners, by Laurie Keller.  Students enjoyed listening to the story about a bunny who had some otter neighbors move in.  The bunny thought that because they were different, they wouldn't be nice neighbors. Throughout the story, the bunny got to know them.  In the end, he found out they were actually great people and neighbors.  

The following are lessons students said they learned from the story:

It is that time of year when the school's hallways come to life.   Coming soon....on November 12, Fifth Grade Night at the Museum.  Don't miss it!

Thank-o-grams are coming up!  This is always a fun way to tell someone thanks.  They will be available for purchase on the mornings of November 20-24, and cost $0.25 for one, or five for $1.00.

There was excitment in the air when  Just Jumpin jump roping team performed for our school in an assembly yesterday.  With cool tricks and routines performed to some of the most popular music on radio, students were amazed and completely entertained.  

Salem Elementarty students commented: "It was thrilling!"  "It was really cool to see them do all of their tricks!" "It was the best assembly yet!" "They were really talented!"  "Their tricks were stunning!"

Trick or Treat...!!   We are so happy for these two wonderful teachers and their exciting news.

A beautiful day for a Halloween parade.  Thanks for all of those who came and lined the streets to cheer us on.  

Look at all this crazy hair in Mrs. Van Ausdal's kindergarten class!

Today, Utah County Sherriff Officer Gordon and his k9 drug dog Blitz, demonstrated how they work together to keep our community safe.  Blitz is full of energy and very playful, but will instantly drop any play toy to respond to the command of his partner Officer Gordon.  Officer Gordon and Blitz showed us how they can work together to sniff out drugs.  They also showed us how Blitz, upon command, will protect his partner from a bad guy. Thanks to Officer Bell for being the bad guy, and officer Christensen for assisting during the assembly.
