Earlier this month Park View’s best keyboarding champs had the opportunity to compete against other students from the district in the Annual District Keyboarding Competition. Congratulations to Avoree King, Garrett Shirts, and Reiker Bolling! Way to represent Park View.
This last week UVU's Theatre for Youth and Education brought the production of Tomato Plant Girl to our students in first through third grade. This performance is a simple story of a little girl who is bullied by her bossy best friend and who learns how to play with an imaginary Tomato Plant Girl while gaining the confidence to play alone if she needed to. This production touched on topics like growing tomato plants, avoiding "girl-bullying" and moving into a new neighborhood. Tomoato Plant Girl was so fun to watch!

On Thursday students brought their grandparents to school! Grandparents came and enjoyed a continental type breakfast and some good one on one time with their grandkids. In addition, they were able to visit the book fair to see all the cool books the younger kids are reading these days. We were blown away by the response and turn out of this event! Thanks to all that came, we hoped you enjoyed your time with us. And thanks to our PVP (Park View Parents) group, this wouldn't have been possible without you!
The third-grade students have been working extra hard to learn all of their multiplication facts. Third grade is the first year students are introduced to multiplication, so learning their facts is really important! To reward these hard-working students they were taught how to make marshmallow shooters. They spent a portion of their afternoon seeing who's shooter could shoot the longest distance, who could win the most point by hitting the target, and they enjoyed snacking on a few marshmallows too! Good work third graders.
This last week students were given an awesome opportunity to engage in fun STEM activities, all thanks to the STEM Action Center! (@stemutah) The Utah STEM Action Center is able to bring these great programs to our schools because of the support of our legislators. Students were first taught about a science concept within their grade level. Then they were able to try it out for themselves using hands-on activities. One of the activities (shown in the pictures) was to build the tallest, strongest, free-standing structure. These kids had a blast!
