November 2015

Under the direction of Mr. Broadbent, Mrs. Prina and Mr. Sueldo, the fifth grade students presented an informative Wax Museum of famous Americans who made a difference in our world today. They have been preparing speeches and posters, writing essays and practicing patriotic songs.  They presented their speeches to the students during the school day on November 20, then informed their parent and family that evening with the knowledge they have gained.  Quin Christensen shared, "I researched to learn about Henry Ford.

What a quality way to learn about sounds!  All the Kindergarten students learned that Q and U always work together as a team.  Mrs. Stirland was the Justice of the Peace who quickly accepted the job to put them together at the ceremony.  Mrs. Rife’s parents were quite qualified to represent Q and U.  In the afternoon class the teachers had two students in their class be Miss Q and Mr. U!!!  One was dressed as a quarterback, the other was a queen. You could almost see the quarterback quake and the queen quiver as they walked down the aisle.

One of the most anticipated activities of Park View is the 5th grade Wax Museum.  It will be held on November 20, 2015.  The 5th grade will be dressing up as famous people in history.  They have created posters to display in the halls, written reports, and memorized facts about their famous person.

The second grade students went on a field trip to the Scera Shell Theater and watched the play" James and the Giant Peach".   All of the second graders got popcorn, a package of airheads, and a drink.  Mrs. Adams class read the book first and then compared it to the play.  They got to sit on the balcony.  After the play all the actors sat in chairs and the kids got to ask them questions.  Most of the students asked about how all the lights worked.  The second graders had a fun time.

“Hi, I grew up in Glendale Arizona, and I became a teacher.  I wanted to be a teacher because when I was at BYU Idaho I volunteered for a kid's Halloween Party.  I had so much fun, I knew I would love to teach kids and help them gain knowledge.  I like teaching at Park View because all the teachers and students are kind!!  Right now I live in Orem with my husband and baby.  I have been teaching for six years.  In all my teaching I have only taught fifth graders.

On Nov. 2, 2015 Scientists came from the Clark Planetarium to instruct 4th, 5th and 6th graders about the art of science.  

 During the Clark Planetarium Assembly, a scientist demonstrated the shock wave.  Students lined up and held hands.  The first person touched a big round ball that had static electricity flowing through it.  Each person felt a shock from the electricity clear down the line.  Michael Lopez said, “It felt like lightening.”
