Nebo's Title 6 Native American Education group visited Park View's fourth graders this week to teach them about Native American history. Students learned an American Indian song with hand signals, looked at handmade artifacts, and explored the impact that Native American culture has on Utah.

We had our very first assembly of the year today! We were graced with a performance from the Fiddle Tunes String Band. Students were able to learn about the history of folk/bluegrass music and were taught about each of the different instruments in the band. This assembly was made possible through Arts Incorporated which brings the arts into schools around Utah. Students instantly fell in love with the style of music. They dance, clapped and toe tapped through the entire assembly. Every second was loved!

As a school we feel extremely lucky and fortunate to have Doug Smith donate to our school.
Thanksgiving Point hosts a nonprofit program called "Tulips Journey North." This program provides third graders all around the state with the opportunity to become scientists in the classroom! Park View third graders were lucky enough to have scientist come to our school and help us explore different science standards. They did everything from dissect a tulip to observe and create a mealworm habitat. Thank You Thanksgiving Point Outreach program for sparking curiosity in our classrooms!
