4th Graders at Barnett have been learning all about the Mountain Men of Utah and their impact on Utah State History. In preparation for the Rendezvous, 4th graders studied specific mountain men and their way of life. They earned beaver pelts for good behavior, that they could then trade at the trading post.
4th grade had the opportunity to go to the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium as part of their outreach program. Students LOVED seeing all of the different animals and learning about them.
Teachers at Barnett are 100% committed to helping our Bulldogs become GREAT readers! In order to encourage students to read in the month of March, teachers lined up to let students put pie in their face IF they brought in their reading calendar.

Amy Minson was awarded as Barnett's Outstanding Employee for the 2015-2016 School Year. Amy works is our lunch room manager and is absolutely wonderful. She is always very willing to help out and our school would not function without her! Congrats Amy!
Second grade had a blast on their field trip to the Lehi Hutchings Museum. We learned all about Utah history. We learned about pioneers, Indians, geology, wildlife, and even dinosaurs! Students even got to experience what being in jail would feel like and hold fossilized dinosaur poo! Yikes!
We attended BYU Project Youth on last Friday, March 11th. Students had the opportunity to experience what it is like to be a college student for a few hours. They toured campus, talked with college students, and were able to go to different departments and learn what they were about.
The 1st graders at Barnett Elementary are building their own home libraries, thanks to Mr. Logue. Mr. Logue visits our school every month to bring books to our 1st graders. His goal is to help get books into the children's homes so they can become better readers. Our students look forward to Mr. Logue's visits each month. He reads the story to each class and them gives each child their own book. Barnett 1st graders would like to say "Thank you Mr. Logue for helping us become better readers. WE LOVE OUR BOOKS!"
