Utah Theater Trip!

Yesterday we had a fun, new experience!  Those in our class who worked hard and met their AR goal got to take a little field trip to the newly renovated Utah Theater to watch a movie!  It was cold and snowy when we loaded the bus to drive about a mile to the theater.  Our class was at the back of the bus so we were one of the last groups to get inside.  We sat down in our seats and Mrs. Blair's dad told us a little bit about the theater and showed us some of the cool things they can do in there.  We loved how the curtains on the walls went up and down and how the chandeliers moved!  Then, we got to have a Laffy Taffy and watch Toy Story on the big screen!

Groundhog Day!

Today we had a little bit of extra time at the end of the day so we did a little art project to prepare for Groundhog's Day tomorrow! (Such a huge holiday...very important :))  First we watched a video about groundhogs and why we celebrate the holiday.  Then students had to decide if they thought Phil would see his shadow tomorrow, or if they think he won't see it!  Personally, I hope he doesn't see it so we can have an early spring! Wishful thinking?  :)  Then the students made their own Phil to represent their prediction.
