One of the highlights of the fourth grade is participating in the fourth grade program, centered on Utah history. Alyssa has been so excited to participate! She and her class spent months learning the songs about Utah and the dances. She also spent a lot of time in class writing her county report. She chose Washington County and was excited because she thought she could write about Seattle. We reminded her that Washington County is different than Washington State, but she could still write about St. George!
In addition to writing a report about the county, she also had to make a 3D model. She worked hard on her model of a slot canyon (with a little help from Jill). They made orange salt dough for the canyon and glass beads for the river that cut through the rock.
The program was held on Thursday, February 20th. The kids were all asked to wear white shirts and bandanas.
Alyssa danced so well and sang loud and proud. Her favorite song to sing was "Utah." We were really proud of her.
A fun part of the program is the dancing. Alyssa participated in the Virgina Reel. Her partner was shorter than her, but she was a good sport about that.
Grandma Bunkall had a conflict, but Grandpa Bunkall came and so did Grandma and Grandpa Bryant. After the program, families were invited to the classroom to see all of the children's county reports and view their 3D models.
Meanwhile in middle school, our boys have one class together. It's a leadership class called SOAR. They received their SOAR hoodies this week and gladly showed them off. Can you see how happy they were to show us?
Way to make us proud boys.
