Location:    Lunch Room

Barnett's Student Lighthouse Team ran a Canned Food Drive December 12th-16th. We are so proud of our students for raising  1,198 cans! Well done, Barnett! Thank you for all who donated! 

5th Graders are studying magnetism in science. The students have loved making compasses, learning what types of materials magnets attract and repel, drawing magnetic fields, and using their knowledge of magnets to do "magic". 

Barnett attened the BYU Kids Day to see a Women Basketball Game against Weber State. Students received free season passes to BYU Womens Basketball Games! They got to meet Cosmo the Cougar and even see trick basketball shots. Perhaps the students' favorite part was getting on the dance cam! It was  fun day for all! 

6th Grade enjoyed a field trip to the Museum of Natural Curiousity on December 13th. They learned about many things, including discovering how sound works! 

We celebrated our monthly Bulldog Pride Assembly on November 30th, which is also our principal's birthday. To celebrate Mrs. Stoddard's birthday, each class voted on the one word they would use to describe Mrs. Stoddard. Then, teachers came up and attached a balloon to her, while their students said their class word for Mrs. Stoddard. 

Our Top Dogs for the Month of November were:

Kindergarten: Coy Jensen, Jaxson Millar, Benjamin Miramontes, Jenevieve Pierre, Jordin Salas

1st Grade: Camden Sperry, Erika Sargent, Knox Christensen

Mrs. Evans' class had a yummy Thanksgiving feast the day before our break.   We have been talking about what it means to synergize because when we all help, great things happen. We were thankful for all the helpers that day.  We had mothers bring food and they stayed to help prepare and serve our feast.  We also had high school students come in to help.  They brought pilgrim hats for each child, helped serve the meal and sang songs with the kids.  It was a fun day, one I think the children will always remember. 

This week, Ms Nash's class decorated our tiny little Christmas tree in our classroom. Each student got to help put on the ornaments and then we turned the lights on for the first time! It's fun to see the beautiful tree while we are working hard during the day.
