Parent Teacher Conferences

Parents get excited because Parent Teacher Conferences are coming up so don't forget to sign up. Go to the Sunrise web site and click on the Online Scheduler and make an appointment. I have really been enjoying your students and look forward to meeting with each of you.

An A-MAZE-ing Fieldtrip

Wow, did we have lots of fun! What a busy day! We all had the opportunity to weave in and out of corn as we tried to find our way through the corn maze. We had to answer questions to find the right way out. Some of us did get lost but no worries we all made it out okay.


Here we are enjoying the weird sensation of playing in a shed full of corn kernals. Hey, we even tried burying each other!




Then there was this huge colorful jumping pillow that was like an extreme trampoline. It was time to go jumping. Look at how high we are getting! Some of us
even needed to stop and take a rest!


We also got ready to learn about rocks and minerals as we sifted through the sand and water to find gems and minerals.


Wait, there's more! We went on a hayride and stopped off at a pumpkin patch and got to choose our own pumpkin. The only rule was we had to be able to carry it by ourselves! Some of us really tried to get the biggest we could, even if we did have to carry it with our jac
kets or walk funny! Some of us just liked the different ones. It was a fun-filled day and it sure did wear us out! When we got back to school, all we wanted to do was take a nap!

We love learning all about UTAH!



We are using pictures to tell a story just like the Indians used to do.






We love learning about the pioneers. This is how they used to dress. Yipee!










We're going on a fieldtrip!

On Oct. 22, the fourth grade will be going on a fieldtrip to Thanksgiving Point. We will be going to Cornbelly's Corn Maze and will learn all about the agricultural in Utah. We will also learn how soil helps plants grow. It will be fun to go and explore the outdoors while learning. We even get to go and walk through a pumpkin patch. We can't wait!
