Let the Games Begin!
During the month of December Mrs. Bushman's class studied about the ancient Greeks. On Thursday and Friday, December 13 and 14th students participated in a 6th grade version of the Olympic Games. Each group of 4 students were assigned a Greek city-state. They created a flag and a group cheer to support each other in the athletic events. The events were "Thumb Wars", an RPS (rock-paper-scissors) competition, javelin throwing (plastic straws), discus toss, and a chariot race. An opening ceremony and preliminary rounds were held on Thursday.
Third-Grade Day of Service
Spearheaded by Mrs. Roberts, the third-grade decided that 12-12-12 should be a day of service to people and service men and women stationed in Afghanistan. On that day they tied blankets, wrote Christmas notes, and painted wooden cars. Sergeant Jed Lundell came to accept the gifts and to take them to those who would be able to send them to service men and women in time for Christmas. When Sergeant Lundell came to accept the gifts on Friday December 14th, he awarded the third-grade a plaque of appreciation and Medals of Honor for the items created on our day of service.
Christmas Around the World
On Friday, November 30th, the sixth-grade students went to BYU to see the Christmas Around the World program. They enjoyed seeing costumes and dances from a variety of countries, including Africa, India, Sweden, and Mexico. It was very colorful and entertaining. (No pictures of the program were allowed, sorry.)
