October 24th -27th Student at Spring Lake Elementary participated in Red Ribbon week. The students had fun making posters pledging to be drug free. Monday students wore red and purple. Tuesday was crazy hat and sock day. Wednesday was crazy hair day and Thursday students wore pajamas to school. The PTA was a huge support with prizes for every student each day. Students received rulers, stickers, pencil, and candy.
Students created their own planet and universe.
Beginning with black construction paper students learned to splatter paint, which created their background for their solar system. Finger paint was used for the base for planets and land masses.
Next, students added their planets and land masses. The ORB city was added last. Students then had a lesson in shading, which helped their planets go from a flat appearance to a 3-D effect.
Great job to all!
On Thursday October 27th, 2011. Utah Valley University theater students came to Spring Lake Elementary School to present The Princess and the Goblin. There were four students that played over 10 different characters in this play. It was a funny and exciting tale, where the characters learned that sometime you have to believe in things that cannot be seen. It was great to see the interaction between the humans and goblins and how they dealt with their differences.
