Veterans Day 2016

Submitted by jaimie.standish on

Barnett Elementary enjoyed celebrating our Nation's veterans with an assembly from the school choir. The choir (composed of students from 3-6 grades) favored the school with patriotic songs, accompanied by a slide show of veterans related to our Barnett Bulldogs. At the end of the assembly, we clapped and gave a standing ovation to veterans that had joined us for the assembly. 2nd Grade also invited veterans in to our school to speak with students.  It was a great day!

Fall After School Robotics Course

Submitted by jaimie.standish on

Barnett Elementary just finished their first After School Robotics Course of the year thanks to a partnership with UVU's School of Education Outreach Program. Each week 4th, 5th and 6th graders work with college students on how to code and program robots. The students had a great time using skills in Math, Science, and Technology. The Fall class just wrapped up and parents were invited to the last class to see what their children had learned. New Beginner and Advanced classes will begin for 4th,5th, and 6th graders in January.

Mrs. Evans Class Sees the 7 Habits in Halloween

Submitted by jaimie.standish on

Halloween is always one of the students' favorite days of the year.  We've been learning the seven habits, and Lily put it best when she said, "Mrs. Evans we are sharpening the saw aren't we, and it is so fun".  That it was.  We played sight word bingo, made a ghost teen number hat, heard a story about a lady who was not afraid of anything, and we had a fun pumpkin walk with numbers and sight words.  It was a fun day for all.
