Kindergarten has been studying penguins. We measured ourselves, practiced holding eggs  on our feet like penguins, and huddled like penguins to keep warm. Our 4th grade buddies helped us study penguins.

Fourth graders showed up to school last Friday in their best dress anticipating the opportunity to attend a concert by the Utah Symphony Orhestra at Maple Mountain High School.  As students walked into the auditorium they were excited to see all the instruments and hear the musicians warming up.  During the concert students enjoyed familiar tunes, such as that from Sleeping Beauty, and participated in learning and clapping different beats per measure.  Students also learned how music can tell a story.

The Natural History Museum of Utah visits fourth grade with it's Museum on the Move.  

Twenty-nine sixth grade students from Salem Elementary and Mt. Loafer Elementary recently performed in their winter orchestra concert! They have been rehearsing before school for 2-3 days a week since September. They sounded awesome, and it was fun to get to share what they've been learning with their family and friends!

Our first Star Award Assembly will be on January 24th.  More information about Star Awards can be found on the school website under parent information.
