Wrapping Up a Fabulous Year!
May 2021
Dear Parents and Guardians,
What an eventful year! We started with many restrictions, mask wearing being one of the most difficult. It wasn't fun but the students, staff, and YOU handled it with patience and grace. Thank you!!
It is such a delight to be wrapping up the year in such a positive place! The students have done well and the staff is top notch. I hope you enjoy our final book of the year. We've worked hard to bring you into the school virtually and we hope you've felt a part of us.
Life is Good!

KINDERGARTEN - Ms. Edwards, Miss SmithLoading...
We have had an amazing year! We have become great writers and readers! We are finishing our year by talking about plants and animals. We also loved having our science day, lunch in the cafeteria and we have caterpillars and ladybugs in our classroom. We have loved kindergarten in our first year at Antelope Canyon!

FIRST GRADE - Mrs. Freestone, Mrs. Jarvis, Mrs. Pearson
In science we finished learning about sound by creating a spoon-gong system. This experiment helped us learn how sound moves through solids. Then we explored shadows and why shadows move throughout the day. Finally in science we learned about air and weather. We loved making windsocks to see how strong the wind was blowing.
We learned about Eric Carle in April. He uses painted paper to create collages for his illustrations. We painted papers and created art like Eric Carle. We loved making big sheets of painted paper in all colors to prepare for making our collages. We created collages for the hallway. We even used the extra paper to make get well cards for Mrs. Bird and Mother’s Day cards for our moms.
In math we are learning about measurement, time and money. We had a great time measuring things and friends around the classroom.
SECOND GRADE - Mrs. Freeman, Mrs. Novak, Mrs. Roach, Mrs. Simmons
We have been learning about friendship and caring for our classmates.
We have been learning about the life cycle of animals. We had chicks and butterflies hatch in our classes.
We learned about the life cycle of plants and grew our own bean sprouts!
We have been learning about time and rocks.
We also learned about diversity by having a Same Day. In order to learn the importance of diversity we had a day where everything was the same. We dressed, ate and did our activities throughout the day as much the same as we could.
As we have been running to Disneyland we have passed through several Indian Reservations. We wrote informative papers about Native Americans and the 6th graders plastered our faces to make Indian masks.
THIRD GRADE - Miss Harris, Mrs. Poteki, Mrs. Saunders
We have almost survived one of the most challenging school years we have ever experienced! There were so many unknowns coming into this year with a brand new school - but we made it!
Math: We have learned multiplication, division, subtraction and addition with 3 digit numbers, fractions, graphing, time, geometry and measurement! We got to celebrate mastering our math facts with a delicious ice cream sundae party. The students worked hard all year to learn their facts and were deliciously rewarded.
Writing: We have learned about how to write 3 different types of informational paragraphs, an opinion paragraph and how to write a narrative story!

Reading: We learned the 6 syllable types to help us to decode words. We have focused on each student's individualized phonics needs and helped give them the instruction they needed. We've focused on main idea, central message, supporting details, inferencing, cause and effect and a plethora of other reading strategies.
