Farr West

May was a busy month for North Ogden Kiwanis who presented awards to students in eleven area schools. Nine elementary schools, including Valley, were visited by Kiwanis Club members to present Hope of America awards to graduating sixth graders. The award is based in scholastics and citizenship. A total of 62 students, two in each sixth grade, received a framed certificate and a cash award of $25. Teachers made the selection of those to receive the award. Seen in the photo are students from Lomond View Elementary in Pleasant View.

Creating Bubble prints:

First you need some water, tempera paint, and dish soap. Mix about a 1/2 cup of water, 2 Tablespoons of paint, and a few squirts of dish soap in each container. We experimented and added a little more dish soap, if needed!  My daughter thought it was fun and enjoyed the mixing part. Then, add a straw to each container and make sure you blow into the mixture. It is like blowing bubbles in your milk or juice.

Weber/Box Elder County--If you have ventured outside lately you cannot help but notice the unusually aggressive mosquito population that has taken over Utah yards. An extra warm and wet spring has made Utah yards beautiful but it has an ugly side effect; mosquitoes that are aggressive and in abundance! Mosquito Abatement in both Weber and Box Elder Counties are doing their best to spray and keep those blood sucking pests down. On their websites, it is recommended to wear bug repellent with either DEET or Picardin to protect yourself  from the biters that may cause West Nile Virus.

Utah--While many states are turning away from Common Core amidst concerns over poorly planned curriculum and testing, that even teachers are not allowed to see, Utah is jumping in with both feet getting ready to embrace the Science Standards.

9 more weeks until school begins!!  J  Our teachers have been busy this week- learning and growing to be great teachers for your students.  These teachers are amazing!  Learning from the Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds conference put on by the USOE, teachers learned ideas for meeting our charter goal of movement in the classroom.  Students will be given opportunities to move around, walk and keep moving.  Students are welcome to bring alternative seating from home to use at GreenWood to keep their learning more active.
