It's staff celebration day!! Wasatch has such amazing staff that care, love, and support each other and students so well. Mr Carr stepped up when a need was had for more supervision before school. He does a great job a building relationships with students and makes learning fun. Ms B spends a lot of her time helping supervise students too. She also is working on several ways to help her students in her classroom be, and feel, safe. Ms Kay does a great job supporting her students with specialized instruction. She also helps all other staff brainstorm interventions and is willing to drop anything to help anyone. Ms Clay is a tough cookie. She has grit is bounces back from hard situations to keep being there for her students. She keeps a smile on her face and is ready every day to help her students grow, despite challenges that may happen.
Our character trait focus for the month is Achievement. All students read, "The Dot," and discussed what achievement looks like at school. Achievement is the trait that teachers will be looking for to nominate a student for our monthly Pizza With The Principal. We have a different trait each month for this recognition.
5th graders working on a Mystery Science activity. In the activity, Make It Rain, students created simple models of the ocean and sky to see how these two systems interact. Students compared how the temperature of the ocean and the temperature of the sky affect evaporation and condensation.
5th graders joined together to solve jigsaw puzzles. This fun SEL activity encourages students to work successfully as a group. It also teaches them to communicate and cooperate with one another.
