Watch out, our sixth-grade Spring Lake Headhunters created shrunken heads, from fall apples.
Students started with an apple, peeled it, and then carved a face into it. After the apple was dried they discovered that their heads had morphed into totally different faces.
Students decided what their face could be and began creating the finished product. Great job head Hunters!
On Monday November 25th Mr. Todd Lambourne, the manager of Zion’s Bank in Payson, came to talk with third-grade students. He presented each third-grade student with their own dictionary as part of a partnership with the Spanish Fork Rotary Club. He played some games with students to see who could find some word first in the dictionary. Third-grade will have a spelling bee later on in the year. Thank you Zions Bank and Spanish Fork Rotary Club for providing these each year.
On Friday November 22nd Third-grade had their annual Thanksgiving feast. Students made glyphs about Thanksgiving that they used as placemats and then sat down to the feast as either a Pilgrim or an Indian. Pumpkin pie was served after lunch. Later that afternoon they had a turkey bowl where they used a frozen cornish game hen as a bowling ball and tried to knock down 2-liter bottle bowling pins. Thanks to all the parents who helped cut out hats, decorate, and donate items for the feast.
The students at Spring Lake Elementary collected $365.53 worth of pennies during Red Ribbon Week for what they called Pennies for Prevention. The money was given to Steps Recovery Center which is dedicated to helping people recover from and overcome substance addictions. Congratulations to the 6th graders who brought in the most pennies weighing in at 39.2 lbs!
6th grade students and teachers, Spencer Sainsbury (Principal), and Christian Smith and Wendy Jensen of Steps Recovery Center.
