First Grade Indian Day

Submitted by beth.knudsen on

The first graders enjoyed Indian Day on November 16, 2012. We learned that there were many different tribes of American Indians and each tribe spoke their own language which made it hard for the tribes to communicate with each other. So in order to understand and communicate with each other, they used sign language and picture writing. Our 1st graders were able to create their own picture writing just like the Indians.

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) Student Neighborhood Access Program (SNAP) is a fun and comprehensive program for walking and biking safely to school that engages and educates students, parents, school administrators, crossing guards and communities. The Barnett PTA had students participate in Walk More in Four, a program by SNAP encouraging students to walk to school or around their neighborhood for four days of the four weeks in September. One student, Andrea Plascencia, participated in the program and won a new bike from UDOT.

Principal's 200 Club Winners

Submitted by angela.stoddard on

Students at Barnett Elementary have been working hard this month to earn Brag Notes. When a student earns a brag note their name is added to the Principal’s 200 Club Board. Brag notes can be earned by making good choices, working hard in school, and being a good friend or helper just to name a few things. Once the board is full of student names we have a drawing for books and prizes. Here are the winners for the month of October. Thanks for making so many good choices Barnett Bulldogs!
