4th Grade Conservationists

Submitted by carrie.vannosdol on

On February 24, the Storm Van from Utah County Stormwater Coalition came to visit Park View fourth graders. Mrs. Devlin from the County Water Department taught the students about protecting our drinking water from water pollutants, or "villains". Students were able to throw rain drops named "Billy", "Bob", and "Jo" into a collection tank. If they missed, water villains ruined the drinking water. Students discovered that pet waste, toxins from paint and gasoline, fertilizer and garbage are the main culprits behind water pollution.

Second Grade Celebrates the 102nd Day of School

Submitted by carrie.vannosdol on

Students in second grade celebrated the 102nd Day of school today. Celebrating the 100th day is important because place value is  a fundamental math concept in 1st and 2nd grades. Since students are in the second grade, they celebrated the 102nd day. Students dressed up like they were 102 years-old, wrote about what they might be like when they are 102 years old, wrote equations that equaled 102, thought of words that described 102 (old, elderly, cane, etc), and gave numerical values to letters and added up how much these words would equal 102.
