* There is a date correction to be noted! I apologize that I messed up the date we return from Christmas break on the December WHAP. We will return on Wednesday, January 4th, not Tuesday, January 3rd. Again, school will resume after Christmas break on Wednesday, January 4th. Thank You, Mrs. Hughes *
For Mrs. J’s grade level lesson in the Panther Den today, students learned the importance of Labeling their emotions. Labeling our emotions serves 2 purposes: 1) when we “name it to tame it” we move from our reactionary Downstairs Brain into our thinking and problem solving Upstairs Brain and 2) when we can get really descriptive about how we are feeling, then we can more accurately communicate our feelings in a way so that others can help. Students played a game where they learned how to be very accurate in describing an apple.
The Utah Food Bank truck will be here tomorrow, right after school. ALL students are encouraged to stop and get food from the food bank!
We want to wish each and every one of our students, their families, and our faculty a very safe and Happy Thanksgiving! No school November 23-27. We will see everyone back at Park on Monday, November 28!
First graders did some fun Thanksgiving activities. They made cute turkey headbands, did a directed drawing on how to draw a turkey, made homemade butter, solved the mystery of who stole the turkey, and they got to eat dinner rolls with their homemade butter.
As a MVE (Most Valuable Educator), Mrs. Andersen was featured on KSL TV this morning! Please take a few minutes to watch the video here! What a fun day we had at school while they were filming this story and we are so excited for Mrs. Andersen to be at the Jazz game tonight.
Once again, Mrs. Jones's class took the win for spirit Friday! They love having Parker join their class.
When the Jazz came to our school yesterday, the Jazz Bear got really comfortable in our front office! Hugs were given, emails were set and music was chosen for us to listen to! He even took over for Mrs. Hatch for a couple of minutes!
One of our teachers, Charla Andersen, was nominated and chosen by the Jazz to be spotlighted at their halftime show on November 18 as a Most Valuable Educator! Charla was nominated by another colleague for her commitment to helping her students love learning and helping them realize their potential and successes! She loves her students immensely and truly wants the best for each and every student in her class. Charla won a personalized Jazz jersey, tickets to the game and $1000 cash to use in her classroom as well as a victory lap around the school with the Jazz Bear.
