A week full of LEARNING!!!

Wow, what a wild winter month. We have had so much fun being back at school, especially this last week. It was filled with all sorts of learning activities! We learned about so many different things, from water to writing and then on to dancing!!
On Tuesday, the Living Planet Aquarium Water Van came and taught us all about the earth's water and the water cycle. We also learned about how Utah uses water and what we can do to save water. Don't forget to take quick showers and turn of the water when you are brushing your teeth. Then for the best part, we talked about the wetlands and saw a salamander and got to touch a real live snake! Awesome! We love water and we learned so much!!!








Then on Thursday we had the lucky opportunity to have Brandon Mull come to our school. Yeah, the man who wrote the FableHaven series. He told us all about writing and how he decided to become a writer. We can be writers too, if we just use our imaginations! Look at his paper, his editor marked it all up just like our teachers do. I guess that is what makes a good writer! Plus, one of our class members got to go up on stage and it wasn't only one time, she got to go up twice and she got a free book. Lucky Day!



Then to top of the whole week, a dance teacher from the Repertory Dance Theatre came and did a miniature dance lesson with us. It was so much fun! We learned about the different levels of dance and got to make up our own shapes using different levels. We also practiced our symmetry and freezing. We were good just like solid ice. We wouldn't even budge. It was one amazing week!
