Wyatt has written an opinion piece about the open road race that takes place in our town.

SILVER STATE CHALLENGE

The Silver State Racing Challenge affects the community by shutting down the highway so people can’t push cows and every year someone gets hurt or dies.

I think we can fix this problem by making safer cars and making sure who’s driving can get out of the car in time or if they die on impact make better helmets and gear.

There have been 3 or 4 times someone has died.  Like this year someone burned to death.   Here are the years people have died: 2014 2012 2010.  My mom says “You would think they would stop doing the races because so many people have died.” Justin says, “It’s cool watching, but it’s very dangerous.”  He thinks they should not stop the race, they just need better equipment.        

Our school is participating in Box Tops for Education.  Reagan D. has written a post about how this program works.

We are collecting box tops for our school and they are worth ten cents each. When we turn in the box tops we get yellow slips.  Oh and when we get yellow slips we get to get in the prize box or we can get a card and are choices are a desk pass and a list eraser.

We bring the box tops in to the office and put it in a box and they count the box tops and they see if they have expired. Then they send the box tops to General Mills in Minnesota. Then the company sends a check to the school and the teachers can use the money for Moby max and Accelerated Reader. 

This year we have a table set up with our supplies and we are calling it the "Professional Station."  Dylan wrote about it--

Professional station

This year our class has a new station at the back of the room.  It is called the professional station.  At this station you will find:  graph paper, markers, pencils, lined paper, clipboards, erasers, and flash cards. 

So if you are a student in need or missing these supplies please visit the professional station the supplies are free to use until you can bring in your own.

Back to School Night

Reagan D. wrote about our back to school night and potluck:  

Lund school had an open house. We ate hot dogs , hamburgers ,cookies, salad, brown, chips, pasta, and it was so good. Then  me, Sara, and Haylee they both sat with me. Then after we were done eating we went down to the playground and  we played on the monkey bars, the slide, and on the swings. We stayed down there until it was time to go home.

Destry has written a piece about our weekly Spanish class, which is taught by Mrs. Griffin.

We are learning new Spanish words in Spanish class.

Like red is rojo;  purple is violet .

Wyatt and Jackson are good at Spanish.

I am kind of good at it, but not that much.

Justin is really good too.  Hyrum is good also.  Dylan is awesome.

Anyway we are awesome at Spanish. I think we will all

Get an A at Spanish. Spanish is cool.  I love Spanish.

The elementary teachers and Mrs. Farnsworth spent two weeks learning a new language program called Spalding.  Haylee has written about how our class is doing the program.

This year in grade school we are doing Spalding. We learn phonograms and rules for letters. We also do different kinds of sentences too.

Other things we do is write in our writing notebooks. We do spelling. We do a lot of cursive with our writing.

A couple other things we do are review our phonograms by writing them. We do practicing by writing them in our writing notebooks and grading them ourselves. We also do tests to see if we know our phonograms. That’s what we do with Spalding.

Mr. Hedges has started a new program called Family Lunch.  On the first Monday of the month, parents can eat lunch with their kids in the lunchroom.  Justin has written about the program.

Family Lunch

      On September 8 the moms and dads came if they could to lunch at 11:30. My mom came, but my dad was at work.

      In our class   6/14 moms or dads came. Out of all the classes 10 parents came, but some brothers and sisters are in different classes.
